LAVA | Burning Bridges creates raw, haunting dance productions in which themes of courage, perseverance, compassion and regret are the guiding principles. Mentally and physically strong women are of key importance.
la despedida is a search for the basis, story and power behind the emotion of grief and the action and reaction of saying goodbye. A thoughtful performance in which inner emotions fiercely housekeeping and love triumphs. A physical and musical explosion, but also a realistic representation of vulnerability in the various stages of saying goodbye. About the finite and infinite. About winning and losing, saving and being distraught, carrying and being carried. About the power of the spirit that takes over when the body gives up. About light, love and letting go. A new beginning.
