Misunderstood is a solo based on rites and modern perceptions of rites of passage accompanied by death. the clash of urban ideology and traditions is put to focus, on a generational and universal context. the personal inhibitions of the dancer is explored and met through objects, reactions to landscapes, architecture, voices, sounds and the ambiguity of the glorified moments.
