What’s left of you when everyone wants something from you?
In Main Character: Lost, Miller de Nobili explore what it means to grow up in a world pulling you in every direction. Parents, school, Insta, the pressure to care and perform: all at once. It can get overwhelming. It can make you feel… lost.
Together with three dancers from breaking, hip-hop, and contemporary dance, Maria Chiara de Nobili & Alexander Miller translate inner chaos into movement: stress, stillness, rage, hope, the feeling of being alone and misunderstood. Dance, text, and sound collide in an emotionally resonant hybrid language that opens up questions about coming of age today. Direct. Honest. Urgent.
Because it’s not about finding the “right” path — but your own.
