Synopsis
“A choreographic vision, based on the music of Villa-Lobos,” filtered through the language of choreographers. “When reality and desire collide, imagination produces short circuits that generate sparks. We call these sparks dreams. The universe of dreams is a magical world, where there are no boundaries between the everyday and the unusual, where desire merges with its fulfillment. An ephemeral world, but full of images of vital richness. We live in an era of collapsing dreams and utopias, trapped in the gears of a limited and absurd reality. It is not about providing ready-made solutions, but about imagining a daily life far from the everyday and richer, to be invented day after day, night after night.”. (Michael Bugdahn)
