BodyBodyBodyBody

Bodybodybodybody is an exhilarating piece of music that oscillates between bass, percussion, dance, electro and ritual music. The piece is inspired by tarantella, folk music from southern Italy that is danced ecstatically to drive away evil spirits and diseases. Guitarist Dag Taeldmann and drummer Andrew Van Ostade were joined by soprano Lies Vandewege and dancer Matteo Sedda, who created an ecstatic and repetitive choreography that draws on the magic of tradition and contemporary dance. A complete and spellbinding experience that will put the Festival audience into a wild trance!
