In Laos, the petals of a flower, which unfold and fade in harmony with each other, are called "kip" - pieces that form a more complete whole. The same is true for one of the hand movements that characterizes traditional Laotian dance, where the fingers evoke the shape of a petal.
In her solo piece, Noutnapha Soydala - a.k.a Nout - (Laos) draws inspiration from this traditional dance form to express the extent of her personality and the course of her life.
