Inspired by the fight of Theo, Deborah Colker's grandson, against a rare genetic disease, Deborah Colker looks at the art of healing, not medically but as a larger quest for understanding, acceptance and struggle. With a soundtrack by Carlinhos Brown, CURA bridges faith and science to answer the following question: How can we cure what cannot be cured?

Deborah Colker has long been an international star. She received the Laurence Olivier Award in 2001 in the category Outstanding Achievement in Dance (the Oscar of the dance world, so to speak). In 2009, she created a show for Cirque de Soleil: Ovo. In 2016, she was the Movement Director for the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
