Defying attempts at categorisation, BodyBodyBodyBody invites us to witness a liberating form of dance and to take part in a total experience where percussive music literally impregnates our body until it contaminates it… It’s hard to resist this exhilarating musical and choreographic journey to the edges of trance.
« Go Go Go Go » ! Urge musician and composer Dag Taeldeman and drummer Andrew Van Ostade in this electrifying dance concert. Wrapped up in intoxicating repetitive rhythm, transcended by the voice of soprano Lies Vandewege, the audience enters the dance led by Italian dancer Chiara Monteverde, rooted in the folk tradition of the Italian tarantella. Here everything interweaves and merges, reaching an emotional paroxysm: a magnetic oscillation between electro, guitar, drums and ritual music, electrified bodies and vocal power. BodyBodyBodyBody is a tidal wave that sweeps everything away, drawing its evocative power from the magic of folk traditions and treading a fine line between dance and music, past and present. Exhilaration, amazement, exhaustion, enjoyment…come and feel it!
