AcquAria - Power folk
Dance it all. It's music to sweat to.
This enthralling program of music and songs celebrates the gifts of the earth and the preciousness of life: an ecstatic incitement to dance. The ensemble on stage ranges from duo to orchestral form. The repertoire focuses on the atavistic and visceral connection between ritual dances and the altered states of consciousness, both individual or collective.
An hypnotic musical experience to jump around that sets your feet on fire!
