About
Concept based on Luca Serasini’s sculptures of Waiting for Angels, this contemporary ballet delves into the modern-day anticipation for help and guidance in the face of personal and societal anxieties. In what ways do we have agency over our future, and how impactful is the sentiment of hope in our darkest moments?

About
Sir. Emotional is a muted scream. A single body on stage—wounded and unyielding—struggling to remain upright as everything collapses. Nnamdi Nwagwu brings his own fracture to the stage: a broken heart torn between what he feels and what the world demands he conceal. Closeness to the audience is unavoidable. Sir. Emotional breaks the space, cuts through the gaze, and pulls us into its vortex. It is a brutal encounter with pain—raw exposure, unshielded and without protection. A stark, visceral portrait of what remains when love is gone.
