Pointe of Axis, is a Neo-Classical/Contemporary Ballet inspired by the primal energy of the natural

world. An original work expanding through the structure of ballet exploring themes of survival,

connection and transformation through dance, light and music. The original score is composed by

dancer Thorbjörg Jónasdóttir drawing inspiration from Icelandic nature. To enhance the

performance's depth, the piano is pre-recorded, while the Viola is performed live by Diljá

Finnsdóttir, weaving an evocative narrative and offering a dynamic musical experience.
