ADAMA. A telluric dance that emerges from the depths of the earth and twisted roots, of wilderness, of trees separated on the surface that muddle their roots underground, that embrace each other below in a built-in web that connects them, that makes them strong and secure. The original music by Pablo Polo, uses the sound of a language without origin. To the rhythm of these voices, a dance evocative of nature and its free will is built, freeing these three bodies, nevertheless trapped on a planet insignificant in front of the size of its solar system. Performance selected for the RED A CIELO ABIERTO 2021 circuit. Choreographer MARIO BERMUDEZ GIL found inspiration for this new work in the natural landscape of his hometown of Vilches, the city where his company is also based. When he plants his feet on the red earth and looks far into the horizon, it is his land, his children, his parents, his grandparents and his ancestors, all of whom grew up in the culture of the earth, under the telluric dictates.
