Yolanda Morales & Team

In her latest work, Hamburg-based Mexican choreographer Yolanda Morales and her international team explore the cosmic event of a solar eclipse. Inspired by indigenous narratives from Abya Yala, the work celebrates the transformative power of the sun. In doing so, colonial thinking is radically questioned and an ecological-decolonial perspective is adopted. In light of global warming, the sun's heat is not only life-giving, but also a threat. The stage transforms into a charged, dense space in which darkness and light, dreams and memories, are interwoven by the dancers in various stories, at the end of which lies the possibility of a new beginning. Powerful, energetic, poetic, and deeply rooted in a tradition in which contemporary dance can be experienced as a social practice.
