A world in peace

November 25th
Llotja de Mar

…

Intercultural project in which we want to weave threads of peace through culture and dance: A multidimensional approach.

It is a choreography that speaks of the feeling of harmony that an individual experiences with himself and with others, along with the happiness of celebrating life, especially in these times when the world needs us to unite and work together to avoid more wars. The choreography depicts women dancing on the Greek Olympus, where peace, goodness and love reign.
