“You hypnotized me.

                                     I've forgotten who I am, where I am, what I'm looking at.

                                                                                        Absolutely amazing.” -HUABUN Guestbook

 

ZINADA is a performance collective led by Jin Lee and Jihun Choi, based between Munich and Seoul.

Their works have explored themes such as relocation, adolescence,

dissonance, and inherited grief, unfolding in poetic and physical forms.

The physical intensity and emotional resonance of the performances invite the audience into

an atmosphere of empathy, where abstraction allows for images and personal memories to rise to the surface. 

 

ZINADA continuously explores the intersection of dance performance with other genres,

seeking to resonate with audiences across all age groups.

The approaches are wide-ranging and diverse, as are the resulting performances.

​

Lee's and Choi's contrasting backgrounds and personalities become

a creative force that drives each piece into distinct and unexpected forms.

ZINADA’s debut production, HUABUN, premiered successfully in 2023 in Munich.
This was followed by MUJE/무제, which had three sold-out performances at HochX Theater & Live Art in January 2025.
In the 2024/25 season, ZINADA was invited to the Explore Dance Network and created
the pop-up performance WUW – Wind und Wand for audiences aged 10 and above.
Most recently, in September 2025, they reimagined HUABUN into a new version titled NATURA,
which premiered at the 4Ukrep Festival in Ljubljana.
All productions are currently touring across Germany and internationally.
