A dialogue between music and movement
Zita Swoon, one of the most popular Belgian bands, has shown an inexhaustible capacity for revitalization and gradually turned into a polymorphous company renamed Zita Swoon Group, which works on a range of specific projects. The band has been on the scene since the beginning of the 1990s. Their music is a fusion of rock, soul, pop, blues, funk and Afro-Cuban style. With Dancing With The Sound Hobbyist, Zita Swoon’s cosmopolitan world of melodies will be seen flirting with movement or – better yet – dance, thanks to their collaboration with the visiting choreographer, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, who devised the performance of Simon Mayer, a dancer of the Rosas group. The dialogue emerging between the two genres is simply exquisite, refined by the intoxicating art of rhythm and melancholia together with the dynamics of movement. Small optimistic answers to big questions. A story about freedom. A performance that expands its stage up to the internal organs of the audience. Music that watches dance.
