Alona Perepelytsia

SALARY

SALARY is an interaction between dance and acrobatics.
The hall is a place where new exhibitions are born, where inspiration plays with the mind, emotions reach their peak, and where hopes of changing the world through art are born. What are its profound secrets? And how does the magic that this space possesses come about?
The work S(Á)ALUR undoubtedly provides the answer. The work is a reflection of what happens inside the hall, a space that has long been considered a haven for many artists.

SALARY is an interplay between dance and aerial gymnastics art.
The studio is a place where new performances are born, inspiration plays with the mind, emotions reach their peak, and hopes of changing the world through art are born. What are its profound secrets? And how does the magic that this space possesses come about?
The answer to that can undoubtedly be found in the work S(Á)ALUR. The work is a certain reflection of what happens inside the studio, the space that has long been considered a sacred place for many artists.
