Video retrospective: In Memoriam Ismael Ivo

In 2021, we had to face a deeply tragic loss. The co-founder of our festival, our friend and companion Ismael Ivo, was taken away by the second COVID wave in São Paulo on 8^th April 2021. We commemorated this exceptional artist and dance mediator on 1^st August 2021 at Volkstheater Vienna. We would like to thank everyone involved and present at this special evening!
