“The Beast” is the debut performance by Irena Pauku and the Dali in Bali dance company.

The audience is taken along the paths of ancient mythologies and stories. 40 dancers bring to life a visually captivating mystical organism, offering a powerful emotional spectacle. “The Beast” is a gateway where fairytales meet the present day. One reaching out to the other and together returning to the present moment.
“The Beast” – who are you? “
