"What a Woman Hold?" is an  outdoor dance performance, born from a unique international collaboration.

The piece brings together choreographers and dancers from Brazil and Ukraine, in partnership with  award-winning Bulgarian choreographer and dramaturg Yanitsa Atanasova and versatile Czech musician Gabriela Vermelho.

This traveling performance transforms the very streets and public spaces of a city into its stage, inviting the audience to join the performers on an unforgettable journey.

Evolving from the duet "Womanhood," this performance uses body poetry to explore a woman's inner world. Its Brazilian and Ukrainian creators reveal the unspoken emotions, societal pressures, and profound strength in vulnerability that shape the feminine experience.

The core of the "What a Woman Hold?" experience lies in its innovative format. The performance is a nomadic journey, turning a shared walk through the urban landscape into a flowing narrative. This physical passage through the city’s unique architecture and open spaces mirrors a deeper, emotional voyage. The audience members are not passive spectators but active participants, embarking on a trip with the performers.

Each performance is a singular event, shaped by the distinct character of the city it inhabits, creating a shared fusion of dance, music, and the living environment.
