Ghosts - Zero Dance Theatre en het AAO
Six dancers and six musicians form one breathable body that moves, scrubs and echoes. Dance and music circle around what was once infused, but now feels empty. The music moves between new compositions and influences from the musical heritage from Granada to Baghdad, with, among other things, percussion, ud and violin as supporting voices. In the intuitive movement language, hip hop and contemporary dance merge into one recognisable, hybrid form. This creates one common language in which sound becomes movement and movement becomes rhythm.
Ghosts weaves body, music and memory into a living ritual. The audience witnesses a search for inspiration. To that which slumbers beneath the surface, and refuses to disappear. From whispering to outbursts, dancers and musicians search for what hides behind rituals that have lost their origin, thus forming new meanings. Because in our rituals lies our cultural memory; they carry the roots of who we are.
