Trans[e]ición

Riksteatern presents SOMOS Dance Company

 

Through the forces of the Cuban voodoo Saints and the dance clubs’ heavy beats, the dancers take you on a journey between trance and awareness. Afro- Cuban dance meets hip hop, house and popping. Collectively, individually and intimately.
 
How can one portray a spiritual force through dance? The SOMOS Dance Company with dancers from both Cuba and Sweden explores this in their production Trans[e]ición. Original music and sound design based on Afro Cuban traditional rhythms and electronic beats.
 
“Make your body remember what our ancestral soul already knows”
