HIGH SPIRITS 

“HIGH SPIRITS” DANCE PERFORMANCE

is based on the lyrical movement through the dance jumps that carry out the energy of reaching towards something high and sublime. Inspired by work of Merce Cunningham, expressionism and abstract narration, the show is questioning what is freedom under collective suppression, pure presence, lyrical chaos, parallel universes, organic movement, scores and formations, folklore rituals, spiritual dances, surrealistic life changes and transformative feminine energy. Freedom is manifested through the absence of a deeper meaning. The construction of the dance narratives that do not give rise to any dominant artistic, philosophical or aesthetic stream, except to the common system that was builded during the process in the making of the show.
