Description
In response to the violence of the world, Robyn Orlin combines dance, music and video in a performance of exhilarating energy. Or how, on barren ground, to make joy blossom!
A work of incredible plastic beauty, with haunting songs, rousing dances and hyper-colorful videos! Here, South African choreographer Robyn Orlin stays true to the mix of forms, expressions and genres that has marked her work for 35 years, exploring the torments and violence facing her country.
