Balm

Human to Human Balm. Heart to Heart Balm. Soul to Soul Balm. 

‘B a l m ’ explores connection. A soothing, fragrant, restorative connection.

The kind of connection that creates safety and trust for one soul to reveal itself and be seen and one soul to bear witness in reverence. A gentle, holding, connection that binds us in shared humanity and with  its power exudes a balm to the soul.

‘B a l m ’ is a mixed-ability dance theatre piece choreographed by Rachel Calleja and co-created and performed by Angela Bettoni and Niels Plotard. It is inspired and developed from the monologues of Angela Bettoni with a soundscore developed by Niels Plotard and the dramaturgical support of Giovanni Sabelli Fioretti. Co-produced by Perypezye Urbane and Professional Media Presence project within the framework of Creative Europe. Supported by Arts Council Malta.

Balm is a mix-ability dance performance inspired and developed from the monologues of Angela Bettoni, a young woman with Down Syndrome.
