RO-TES–រទេះ

"Demonstrating the ability of the human body" ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Using groundbreaking innovation in wheelchair design, this exhilarating dance performance follows Nadenh as he reimagines his wheelchair as a place that can support more than just his body, creating a new world of bold movement. Taking inspiration from his Cambodian heritage, RO-TES រទេះ (Khmer for wagon) is a dance on wheels and a joyful celebration of progress, community and Nadenh's journey.

Disabled artist Nadenh Poan makes his choreographic debut in collaboration with Stopgap's diverse and world-class dancers.

Who are the artists? Stopgap Dance Company is driven by a diverse team who use dance as a movement for change. Their mission is to create a world where diversity is not just accepted but pursued, where no one is limited by prejudice against Deaf, Disabled, or neurodivergent people.
