Synopsis
The human body is an endless source of inspiration, reflecting stories and connections with the external landscape. As humans, we possess the power to create, reproduce, and thrive, yet we also bear the capacity to witness the devastating ruin of our planet. The direction we choose to steer the flora, fauna, and ourselves rests solely in our hands. Will it be a path towards destruction or a beacon of hope for a better world? Through graceful dance and artistic prowess, young artist Mr. Kriss weaves a visual poem depicting our intertwined existence within the cyclic nature of life.
Kristián "Mr. Kriss" Mensa is a dancer and visual artist from the Czech Republic. Especially after the appearance at the prestigious Red Bull Dance Your Style competition in 2019, Mr. Kriss became a respected dancer known for his flexibility, elegance and lightness. As an illustrator he captivates his audience with infusing visual art and real life scenery. Kristián has worked with many global brands and organisations. He has been awarded with a Silver medal from the President of the Czech Senate in 2021, and being listed in 20under20 by HuffPost and 30under30 by Forbes Czech. A summary of his creative journey says: “I draw with my body on the floor and dance with a pencil on paper.“
