Sobran

“The devil is everything that is not God, everything that agitates the body: the blues, the llanero song, rock, jazz, the yaraví, the bomba, the cumbia, reggaeton, salsa — everything that is unleashed, the black and the Indian, the cholo, what awakens the underground melody, that is to say what is seditious inside […] that is where the new listening is found that will free our body from the empire of beauty, that is to say what will offer us a new thought.” Mónica Ojeda – Electric shamans at the festival of Soleil Ported by the diabolical rhythms of cumbia, SOBRAN is a ritual of reparation that mixes grief and joy. Five dancers revive the memory of the disappeared within themselves. Echoing the Latin American searching mothers, they defy oblivion through dance, thunder-cries, and songs of joy. They shatter borders, they become one body; a blow dealt to impunity, a surge of pleasure in the face of violence and everywhere, relentlessly, a call to uprising. SOBRAN is an unleashed breath for the right to know.
