We’ll make you dance again!

An unstoppable, passionate performance to energize your life

 

Bursting with the energy of youths in a desperate struggle against the world, the Dance Theatre “I Don’t Want to Die” returns this summer! After two hugely successful runs in 2016 and 2018, a deluge of requests poured in for an encore performance. Dance is the most powerful means to breathe new life into your weary body and mind.

 

Bid goodbye to the world where you just want to die. Make sure you dress up properly to show respect for death. You must leave your final message on earth and enter with reverence. The stage is no longer reserved for dancers only. Shake your body that was once on the verge of death. You may discover a life instinct deep inside your heart!

 

 

 

 

"When I argued with my mom and slammed the door shut.

When I had my first period.

When I ran into my crush.

When I lost something precious.

 

I want to remember.

The moments that make me feel alive.

I feel my heart beating!"
