About the Work

KOMOREBI is an original interdisciplinary production by Navaji David Nava incorporating choreography, performance, costuming, photography, film, mythology, and spiritual themes.

KOMOREBI is a contemporary ballet that uses the power of human mythology to explore the nature of perseverance, to inspire a relationship with the natural world, and to highlight how growth cycles parallel cosmic cycles.

“As our lives rapidly evolve to coexist with technology and artificial intelligence, I want to honor the intellect, emotions, and creativity unique to the human spirit.” —Navaji
