DANÇANTES
UMA APOLOGIA DA FESTA
“Dancing, An Apology of the Feast” is yet another challenge, ... of those from which life is made. A piece built of experiences, with people and for people, in an intense process of giving and receiving. It focuses on the joy that dance brings to the bodies and minds of today, and brought to those of other times. It is a piece that decipher the transcendence of dances, which seemingly simple, turn out to be complex rhythm, dynamics and meaning.
Dancing, An Apology of the Feast is a worthy tribute to the bodies that still revolve around the tree of life and whose minds they do not forget, ... latent by the vibrant stamping of their feet, the same distant and rhythmic rhythm of the hearts of the village. " A very special thank you to Carlos Mota, director of CCC Caldas da Rainha for the invitation and all the support given to Vortice Dance Company, in this and previous productions, to the Councilor of Culture Dr. Maria da Conceição Jardim Pereira, the technical department coordinator José Ramalho, as well as the technical and production teams of the CCC.
