“The devil is everything that is not God, everything that agitates the body: blues, llanero singing, rock, jazz, yaraví, bomba, cumbia, reggaeton, salsa – everything that is unchained, black and Indian, cholo, that which awakens the subterranean melody, that is, what is seditious within […] therein lies the new listening that will free our bodies from the empire of beauty, that is, what will offer us new thought.”

Mónica Ojeda -  Electric shamans at the Sun Festival

Driven by the diabolical rhythms of cumbia, SOBRAN is a ritual of reparation that blends mourning and joy.

Five dancers revive the memory of those who died. Echoing the spirit of Latin American mother-researchers, they defy oblivion with dance, thunderous shouts and songs of joy. They shatter borders, they form a body; a blow to impunity, a burst of pleasure in the face of violence, and everywhere, relentlessly, a call for uprising.

SOBRAN is a breath of fresh air for the right to know.
