Mimmo Miccolis
Featuring a fusion of music from Turkey, Italy, Oklahoma, and other regions, TIDES.OF.TIME emphasizes themes of cooperation and shared human experiences. Central to the narrative is the figure of the Mother, a
dancer who represents the understanding of embracing differences and nurturing a future where cultures can coexist harmoniously. The performance combines movement, music, and storytelling to reflect on the significance of cultural exchange and the importance of building connections between various communities
