| Description |
"Deus que me deu is a solo dance piece which physically and bodily searches a human’s connection to the spiritual and holy experience. In our society the discussion and the general perception of religiousness is often culminated to the church and it’s state and opinions. This piece aims to search the sacred as a very primitive basic experience of a human being, without the domination of religions and different institutions. The sacred is not necessarily felt when everything is well, but when you are about to lose it all and have to stop in front of the questions of existence. |
