RITES

This choreography was originally made for Holstebro Dansekompagni in 2013.

Cultural and religious manifestations will always be present in various rituals around the world. They are celebrations of persons and mysteries, and they express religious beliefs in tribes, in societies and in communities.

The choreography is inspired by different cultures in Brazil, brazilian origins and rituals. These rituals are very much present in daily brazilian life, in gestures and manifestations of moments, in the dialogue between people. They spring from a common belief in and awareness that there is someone or something in the beyond, something bigger than us.
