MANIA - Dance Performance

Over dit evenement

Mania is divine inspiration for creation, which makes you nuts.
Mania is a state of consciousness.

The divine gift of mania is inspiration—inspiration for creation in any circumstances.
With that slogan, we would like to share our story of our MANIA.

Divine inspiration pushes you to create and dance even if you have a high fever, even if your hernia is not enabling you to walk, and even if your cells in the bones are dying. Inspiration to dance and sweat even in winter rain in the forest, even if we don’t get any funding and illness is canceling half of our rehearsals.

And we still invite you to the performance because of MANIA. The mania for creation and inspiration! When we create, we fly on a magic carpet; our hearts are glowing, and we long to share that with you!

The Myth Behind MANIA
Our story begins with Gaia, the primordial goddess of the Earth.

In our interpretation she becomes the Snake Goddess, a symbol of life, transformation, and ancient wisdom.

From her two Gods and powerful forces are born: Dionysus and Apollo.
They are both so beautiful and so different—and dangerous. Dionysus is the god of senses and ecstasy; Apollo is the god of reason and beauty. They are brothers.
If they send you MANIA, you can reach all the qualities from them, like the most famous musician—Orpheus: his head is resting in Dionysus's temple and his lyre in Apollo's temple.

Dionysus and Apollo in us are fighting. We dance it!

How will the evening look like?
We dance scenes, and in between we tell you the intriguing and lesser known stories from the myths. You can influence how the story will continue. You can also give us the topic for some improvisation scenes.
That way we will create the evening together.
Including afterdrink.

Looking forward to share with you this unique evening.
