With diamond tears
Imagine if we embraced and celebrated softness, generosity, and empathy as fundamental human strengths capable of positively transforming humanity.
In this dynamic dance piece, we delve into the reclamation of traditionally female-associated characteristics like vulnerability, softness, empathy, and emotionality, which are frequently cast in a negative light within our modern neoliberal society. However, rather than perpetuating these stereotypes, we choose to celebrate and embrace these very traits as fundamental human strengths. By doing so, we unlock their potential to empower and uplift individuals, fostering positive change for all.
