Behind Curtsy of Cream: a struggle for a better dream

Three girls leave home in search of a better life abroad. Full of hope, they arrive in a new country to find that money is short, the culture is strange and they are alone.

In Curtsy of Cream: “Struggle for a Better Dream”, Yutta Dance Company follows them as they turn to dance and music to carry what they cannot say. Through each other, they find strength, resilience and, slowly, a sense of belonging.
