Contemporary dance and electronic music to reflect on traditional group practices, in which the body is the main means of exhibition.
This live contemporary dance and electronic music performance explores the practices of Western traditions that sacrifice the body out of esteem, belief and tradition in order to be part of a community within a festive celebration. A reflection on the continuity, from one generation to another, of traditional group practices in which the body is the main means of exhibition.
