and our flowers pass
Orsolina28 Art Foundation is thrilled to welcome three young, emerging choreographers for the 2026 edition of Call for Creation.
The three-week residency in Orsolina28 will mark a monumental milestone for Riley O’Flynn: after years of developing his original music, the dancer and choreographer will release his first EP in 2026.
“and our flowers pass” is a live performance project at the intersection of O’Flynn’s music and choreography. The work will translate the themes within the music into physical expression, carrying the storytelling of the lyrics into movement through the connection of two bodies, alongside live musicians. The music will be reimagined in a deconstructed live format, as O’Flynn navigates the space between music and dance within a single performance.
