rupture is an evening of two distinct dance works by Princeton seniors Olivia Kasule and Braeh Simon. Leaning into the tension of familiar realities breaking apart, their works examine the physical and psychological implications of shared loss and rapidly shifting social dynamics. Simon’s “She Builds” draws inspiration from the spirit of contemporary fusion and the strength of feminine artistic community. Kasule’s “Ephemeral, Still” is a contemporary ballet work exploring impermanence and the fostering of connections within a fleeting world.
