Easy Rider
Contemporary dance (2013)
We started exploring ideas of faith, tradition and delusion. Looking at how humans engage with superstitious beliefs and practices in the pursuit of happiness. And creating a concoction of religion, customs and self-help manuals. The work became a theatrical rite, an unraveling of the pure essence of our need to belong. A personal approach to beliefs and passions in a raw and haunting way.
The music is a combination of powerful beats, field recordings from Easter parades in Spain and live and pre-recorded texts from the performers. The music is performed live by Alberto on stage.
'Its simple stage properties are combined with carefully composed sound and lighting…' John O'Dwyer
