Last projecte in residence
Torobaka (2014) takes its title from a phonetic poem by Tristan Tzara inspired by Maori culture. The bull and the cow are sacred animals in the traditions of both dancers and represent the fusion of their two dance styles. More than imitating each other, the dancers’ intention is to create a new genre born from the mutual effort to better understand each other’s approach to dance, a true artistic exchange.
