"Mother", a poem written by Ervina Halili and performed by Yanitsa Atanasova as part of Leap Off Page festival of literature and contemporary dance.
Leap Off Page is an international interdisciplinary festival that combines literature and contemporary dance. Dancers and writers from all over Europe come together to create a new hybrid art form, showcasing the idea that words can leap across borders and mediums. Participants are grouped into creative teams and tasked with creating a literary text that would "leap off" the page in the form of dance choreography.
