    About I Believe in Fantasy

    “I Believe in Fantasy” is presented as a live dance event at Berlin, with featured performers Stram and Humen Skum. The work tests how fantasy operates as a social tool, not an escape, using bodies in motion to outline the pressures of identity, projection, and role-play. It arrives in New York without an established NYC premiere history or widely documented local lineage, which places the emphasis on first contact and context. One clear strength is its restraint, letting repetition and small shifts do the argument.
