National Debut
A proud dance. A lost dance. A dance manifesto.
The cult of dance is an ethical attitude towards life.
Dance as a possibility of using the body to create beauty.
The lost dance of a solitary soldier.
What possibilities do I have of going through space and time harmonically with my body movements?
What possibilities of virtuous movement can I express‚ knowing my body to be unique?
What forms await me?
How can I change conflicts into harmony of movement?
There are two motives.
Formal: the need to focus on what dance is.
Ethical: dance against war
