Sara Mearns x WANG RAMIREZ
Wang Ramirez, who formed a doubly eponymous dance company, are the experts of exchanging and blending between cultures and know-how. The couple by itself combines 4 different nationalities: Korean, German, Spanish and French.
In their shows they express universal values, beyond the notions of identity and belonging to a group.
