International Dance and Music Collaboration
ORIGINS is an interdisciplinary project silently inspired by traditional legends from several ancient cultures. A live original music score by renowned Samavesha artists: Laura Inserra (Italy), Pauchi Sasaki (Peru/Japan) and Claudia Cuentas (Peru) is composed to immerse the audience in a work that ignites the senses. Created in partnership with DANCE MONKS Olivia Eng (China/US), Rodrigo Esteva (Mexico), Mirah Moriarty (Roma/US) and Rodney Bell (Maori/Aotearoa), the work addresses and embodies the concept of origin. Origin as a legendary place, a cultural landscape, an ancestral identity, an inescapable longing, a source of life, a spring, a seed of creation, an essential beginning. DANCE MONKS were last seen at their sold-out performances at CounterPULSE SF in 2007. ORIGINS is their latest interdisciplinary collaboration with these powerful and breathtaking artists from around the globe.
