Novo
In Novo, artists Sivan Rubinstein and Liran Donin communicate through dance and music to explore our lifelong, unique relationships with our bodies, and our bodies’ place in the natural world. Drawing inspiration from yogic philosophy and practice, Novo takes us on a personal and collective journey from head to toe, from past to present, and from beginning to end.
