Jose Vidal, Holland Festival Rito de Primavera, 2017

A pagan sacrificial ritual, a dance of death and the beginning of a new spring. There has been ritual dance for as long as people have existed. The Chilean choreographer José Vidal has created a completely new ritual for the present day, with fifty dancers, an electronic soundtrack by the DJ and multiinstrumentalist Jim Hast, and a euphoric stage performance that appeals to all the senses. The dancers and the audience come together in the neardarkness of Zuiveringshal West where this registration was recorded during Holland Festival 2017. Lose yourself in the throng and experience this mystical underground rave. It is a passionate celebration of dance. choreography, direction Jose Vidal music Jim Hast, Andrés Abarzúa light Antonia Peon Veiga, Julio Escobar sound Carlos Barros Holland Festival 2017 collaboration Opleiding Moderne Theaterdans Academie voor Theater en Dans, Jodi Gilbert
