Step and a half is a collective contemporary circus production that explores rhythm, group movement, and the intersection of diverse disciplines through a shared physical language. Blending traditional Dabke with contemporary circus, the performance creates a unique artistic dialogue between heritage and modern expression, where circus becomes part of dance, identity, and collective freedom. The work brings together performers from different backgrounds, building a dynamic stage environment that balances strong individual technique with a powerful collective presence.
