Olive Branch is a dynamic, feel-good, funny and family friendly dance duet that intertwines contemporary dance with martial arts, choreography by Vanhulle Dance Theatre.

Following the new and unusual friendship between two strangers, they quickly learn to overcome differences, despite miscommunications, by developing trust and acceptance, and an alliance is formed to defend mother nature.
