Plus Minus explores connections between people: between a boy and a girl, between the group and the foreign, the outsider, who at once arouses both questions and fears.
Plus Minus touches the passion to connect, the need to give to another in order to feel whole.
This dance piece moves between the magical and the funny, between the serious and the amusing, between explosive energy and the silence within, and connects them.
