THE CRADLE

The opening performance of the 20^th Exodos Festival, a co-production between China and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (C-CEEC), explores our acceptance of differences and our search for particularities. What was laid into the cradles of young dancers, and what did they acquire ever since they walked from it? First of all, the production touches upon the value that nowadays has been almost forgotten: everyday attention, contact with other people, with the society and the surroundings. The Cradle is the first project of the C-CEEC Dance Union. It is a result of Dance Camp, a two-year C-CEEC international project made in collaboration with the Beijing Dance Academy.
