“‘Any road,’ said Carlyle, ‘this simple road to Entepfuhl, will lead you to the end of the world.’ But the road to Entepfuhl, if followed right to the end, would lead straight back to Entepfuhl, which means that Entepfuhl, where we started, is that ‘end of the world’ which we set out to find in the beginning,” lays printed on page 77 of Fernando Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet.

Heavily influenced by her recent return trip to India with references to the mudrās, symbolic hand gestures present in Indian dance, Alina Arshi attempts to excavate her identity and capture the feeling of living between multiple cultures. Entepfuhl is a bite-sized dance performance that packs a real punch.
