SINP’A

SINP’A stages an encounter and confrontation. An encounter where women entwine, an encounter that turns into a fist fight, an encounter between dance and music, between cultures and their different perspectives, between the massive bodies of the Apus (mountains). Based on bolivian tinku DENCUENTRO meets & confront European academic with Andean dances and rituals.

Based and inspired by her artistic research about tinku fight-ritual in Bolivia, SINP’A is a dance piece about encounter and confrontation. The encounter when women braid their hair, the encounter in a fight with fists, the encounter from the dancers with the music, the encounter from different cultures and their perspectives, the encounter of the body of mountains sliding into each other. SINP’A moves in the tension field between cooperation and opposition, between different identities and opens up the physical confrontation as another option to celebrate life.

SINP’A is a work with direct, physical and frontal contact, braided with the sensorial-, rational- and spiritual dimension of human condition.
