How do people learn to love? How political is love? In his acclaimed production Same Love, Swiss choreographer Muhammed Kaltuk makes an emotional statement for acceptance, tolerance and empowerment.
Through dance, the piece looks at how we are raised to think about love. It breaks down stereotypes, challenges gender roles and celebrates the many forms love and relationships can take. Kaltuk asks what love meant to his Turkish ancestors, and how young people from different cultures relate to it today.
Same Love was presented at the Batalo Dance Festival 2025 in collaboration with Soul-Xpressions, with support from Stichting DOEN.
