“Like the ouroboros, the mythical snake that bites its own tail, Alina Arshi engages her dance process through loops and ‘knots’ of intensity. Twisting her body in series of repetitive movements, echoing the percussive and progressive density of the soundtrack, she stages visceral, all-consuming choreography. Entepfuhl expresses a quest for identity and the feeling of never fitting in when living between different cultures”.
