Cecilia Bengolea & BODHI PROJECT (ARG)
Sound of the Trap
After the successful premiere within the scope of the festival Performing New Europe this January 2018, Argentinian Cecilia Bengolea will bring her spirited dance piece Sound of the Trap again onstage. Next to an evening show there will be a second performance - not only but especially also for pupils and students.
For an ensemble of seven dancers Cecilia Bengolea creates a cadaver exquis full of imagery, historical references, contemporary and folk dances that intertwine with recorded music and live sound. Bengolea’s work focuses on the study of different body constructs and dance cultures. Sound of the Trap nourishes the spiritual body through Jamaican Dancehall, Argentinian Cumbia, Bolivian Dance of the Wind, Hungarian and Austrian folk dance, and a choreography created in response to the industrial revolution. Music such as Mozart’s symphonies, a contemporary recreation of the musical The Sound of Music, and Afro Trap are further ingredients. As another reference to the City of Salzburg, Bengolea also reflects on Thomas Bernhard’s autobiographic series.
