INSANE is a choreographic piece inspired by the spirits, monsters or specters that are summoned during ritual feasts, shamanic dances or traditional celebrations of the change of seasons through which women and men try to influence the mysterious forces of nature, to replay the primitive feelings of awe and superstitious terror. Chasing away evil spirits, dancing to a brutal rhythm, dancing the dead, performing frenzied dances for its community, eradicating fear and stabilizing the mind, INSANE revives dance as an archaic, sacred and ritual activity.

Choreography: Alban Richard
