AT THE SOURCE
There was a time when people lived peacefully in harmony with nature. But over the years, they became greedy and tried to control things that were beyond their power.
Fire, water, wind and earth grew angry – and made their voices heard through natural disasters to show humanity who is in charge here.
The piece tells this fictional story through an abstract dance performance: taking the form of a parable about the origins of natural disasters and human hubris, it creates a world of its own in which the beauty of nature, the belief in a right to power, and the lust for control stand in opposition to one another.
