Dance performance “DiB it up!” unfolds along an invisible boundary between you and me - a boundary that is constantly shifting, disappearing, and reappearing.
How much of you is in me, and how much of me is in you?
Do we exist separately at all, or only through one another?
We meet in a space that is both personal and shared.
Every movement belongs to the self, yet is also shared with those who witness it, reflect it, and carry it forward.
Every impulse born in one body is transmitted to many.
It continues, transforms, loses its origin, and finds new meaning in another’s gaze.
Each presence is both a boundary and a bridge - separating, yet at the same time connecting.
And somewhere within all this, the awareness of where I end and you begin begins to dissolve.
“DiB it up!” is a story of you among others, and of others within you.

Dali in Bali is the first collective in Estonia inspired by the Frame Up dance style, active since 2022. The group brings together artists with diverse dance backgrounds, whose collaboration results in an experimental and distinctive interpretation of dance, movement and the body.
Dali in Bali has performed at the Estonian Independence Day concert (2024), Eesti Laul (2023), and on the TV programs ETV “OP” (2024) and various shows on Kanal 2.
They have also successfully represented Estonia at international dance competitions.
Last spring, the group debuted their first dance production, “The Beast,” which earned a nomination at the Estonian Theatre Awards. This year, Dali in Bali is exploring new creative directions and invites you to experience their latest dance production on stages across Estonia.
