“Two bodies, one presence. The knit between the possible, impossible, the absurd and the real. What we are and what we could be.” – Audience response

’ –

A dance theatre duet performed by Delicia Sefiha and Xavier De Santos, KOKONA enters a world where the body is yet to be shaped by the expectations of society. KOK and KONA explore their own bodies and each other’s, encountering the feminine and masculine through curiosity, experimentation and play. With only a few clues from the world around them, they begin to question who they are and who they might become. Bodies become something to investigate and transform, as the pair navigate the possibilities of identity.

The result is an intimate and often surreal encounter between two bodies, shifting between the familiar and unfamiliar, the possible and impossible, the absurd and the real. Rather than offering fixed answers, KOKONA creates space to consider how identity is formed, how gender is experienced, and what might be possible when those boundaries are left open.

Developed through the South West, Portugal and London, KOKONA has already been shared with audiences across its development and preview process, receiving responses that highlight its physicality, humour and experimentation. It now arrives in London for a performance at The Playground Theatre as part of Voila! Festival 2026 on Wednesday 11th November.
