Koolik / The Importance of Passion as a Foundation

How passion plays a roll in advancing your life and career

About Koolik

Some years ago, in a fantastical woodland forest, the love child of a centaur & unicorn shed its tears upon freshly grown psilocybin mushrooms that over time spawned the half fish, half man being soon to be known as Koolik. In the 23rd year of our Lord, Koolik was visited by Hilarion, the 12th dimensional star commander. Taught in dream time, Koolik mastered the art of melting faces. Though no one knows precisely when, a group of dolphins carried our hero to the majestic shores of Detroit. It was at this time that Koolik cloaked himself deep within the mysterious back roads of your mind, all the while waiting to unlock the doors of your sub-conscious.

After a history of choreographic success in Italy, Greece, Spain, and Germany, Salvatore Siciliano founded the company in January 2015. The company has flourished in the Berlin arts scene, transforming alternative spaces into sites for new artistic experiences.

His choreography is powerful and stimulating and leaves an impression that last long after the work has ended.

About Siciliano Contemporary Ballet
