Description

The cathartic tragedy of Antiquity, with its masks and characters, source of shocking, exemplary narrations, inspired the choreographer from Cape Verde to compose a pièce in which the music, including Ravel’s Bolero, activates the engine of the action. Morals and aesthetics compete as they obey the antithetical principles represented by the opposing divinities of the founding cults of ancient Greece, Apollo and Dionysius.
