The Net We Carry – Wavu Tuliobeba

What does the body carry when words fail?

This powerful multidisciplinary dance performance explores memory, loss and the things that continue to live within us. Through movement, breath and stillness, experiences that have never fully disappeared emerge —traces of joy, wounds and unspoken pain.

That which cannot be held or released returns, manifesting as a scream, anger or an echo in the body.

On stage, a dense web is woven through dance, voice, text, colour and music. A large net hovers above the performers — an image of what connects us and weighs upon us simultaneously. Their bodies tell stories that words cannot capture, making memory tangible as something shared, alive and deeply physical.

This is an urgent invitation to confront the invisible burdens we carry, both individually and collectively.
