As part of Moldova Dance Festival Contact+ 2026, three choreographic premieres from Moldova, Ukraine and Bulgaria meet in one evening: REFLECTIONS, LUA and IN BETWEEN.

REFLECTIONS 🇲🇩 🇺🇦 — PREMIERE
Everything we encounter reflects something within us: voice, body, memory, fear, love. We circle between past and present until we stop searching for a reflection and find ourselves face to face with who we are. Four artists create this space through original music, songs, poetry and choreography.
Duration: approximately 50 minutes
Choreography: Alexandra Soșnicova, Serghei Golovnea (Voices Dance Company)
Music, text and voice: Stan Potoku, Iulia Panici (Via Dacă)

LUA /Moon/ 🇧🇬 — PREMIERE
A Space for One Dancer
LUA is an experience of the impossibility of moving forward: a solitary ritual of a person without a group.
It is a space to imaginatively hide away and grieve before moving on; a space where you learn to sing at the moon, like a lone wolf who has suddenly grown wise. Without explanation. Without the Field you hoped to be in. LUA is what remains when the Field is gone.
A performance by Petya Stoykova / DUNE Dance Company
Music: random
Duration: 20–35 min.

IN BETWEEN 🇲🇩 — PREMIERE
IN BETWEEN is a group performance exploring the idea of “between” and the ways it appears in our lives: between people, choices, laughter and seriousness, states and contradictions. Through movement, the work explores the living space between gestures, directions or possibilities.
Duration: approximately 20 minutes
Choreography: Alexandra Soșnicova, Serghei Golovnea
Performers: Fantezia Dance Theatre

The evening is part of Moldova Dance Festival Contact+ 2026 — an international festival of movement, contact improvisation and performance, taking place in Chișinău from 26 September to 4 October.
