“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.

​

Their debut production, HUABUN, premiered successfully in Munich in 2023. Their second production, MUJE, was presented at HochX Theater & Live Art in January 2025 with three completely sold-out performances. In 2024/25, as part of explore dance, ZINADA created the pop-up performance WUW – Wind und Wand for young audiences aged ten and above. In August 2026, their latest work, NAMI, supported by the City of Munich Department of Arts and Culture and the Fonds Darstellende Künste, premiered at Tanzwerkstatt Europa. The performances were not only fully sold out but significantly overbooked, drawing an outstanding critical response across four press reviews. All of their productions tour continuously internationally, including in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Czech Republic, Slovenia, and South Korea.
