Thank you to all the artists who continue to follow their own path come what may, who allow us to enjoy their tender wisdom, who share their joy, their work, their humour and subtle texts (both physical and mental) through wonderful performances, many of which premiered during the festival.

Thank you to the audience for your renewed trust, and to all the new visitors who dared to step through BUDA’s doors to share new experiences with us.

Finally, thank you to the young students from EXERCE, KASK and PARTS for their presence throughout the festival (sometimes late into the night!), and for sharing their energy, which was both soothing and inspiring.

Hope, empathy and a listening ear – balm for the soul. In other words: more and more art and dance in our lives – that is what we wish for you and for ourselves.
