    The dancer Badeen Pedawi and the pianist Marcos Souza joined their talents in a new performance of dance and music. Winds of Amsterdam narrate the spirit of the city through a chat between Badeens choreography and Marcos's compositions.
    They dialogue about the sounds and the movement of the city day-by-day life: the winds, the birds, the tram and bikes, the bridges and traffic lights Those are the elements that inspired them to create the performance and present it alive together on stage, with the ambition to spread the winds far away.
