Dance theater: ANCESTORS' GIFT

Dance theater: ANCESTORS' GIFT

Mon 05.05., 10.30h, for young people from 13 to 20 years old

A young woman likes to hang out with her friends, she loves to dance, go to parties and listen to good music. When she is alone, she likes to lie under a tree in the fresh grass and read books. Surrounded by daisies and the scent of fresh grass mingling with the scent of jasmine flowers. This is the smell of her childhood, when she played in her grandparents' garden. She has fond memories of this magical garden. On those hot nights, she slept on the roof terrace. She fell asleep with the twinkling of the endless stars in her eyes. Then came a dream: eerie figures moving strangely, as if they were fighting. They fight and fight without end. They kill each other, but they never die and always get up again. Who are they? What do they want? For many years she remains alone with her questions, until her grandfather dies. This event raises questions about his life and the mysterious silence that surrounded him. Suddenly her dream changes. She continues dreaming and meets her ancestors for the first time, who relieve her of an important burden.
