Who We Are

Natasa Trifan Performance Group's repertory is known for complex synthesis of movement, image and concept, distinct European aesthetics, and clean, precisely-crafted works. The group has committed to promote original contemporary  music and international highly professional dancers who redefine and diversify the group's performance style.

[NTPG] investigates new approaches to multimedia performance using dance, image theater, theatre d'object, and video technology.

"[NTPG]'s work aims to reflect the multiple layers of our contemporary society. It defines and re-defines the 21st-century human being, with its complex facets of sociological behavior, technological fascination, political activity or oppression, and above all, our tremendous power to continuously adapt to the world and at the same time to transcendent it."
