This is a performance about a South to South conversation, a journey between two seemingly beings, bringing up their parallel common shared visions, yet belonging to a physical far away roots from each other.

Roberto Olivan and Gregory Maqoma have strong personalities and they are deeply involved with their traditions and their culture, a connection with their respective landscapes and people that live in them, with their expressions and their emotions. Both live in the south of their cultures, south of Europe, south of Africa.

Beyond the complexity of rhetoric, these two performers decide this time just to stick strongly to their own intuition and to follow what they consider significant and sort of being lost in our current everyday life. This kind of inner voice has been there for generations and has given guidance to the transcendence of humanity through trance rituals and ceremonies in certain cultures. To listen that voice involves stirring many emotions, thoughts and inner judgements that exist perhaps slumbering somewhere in our being, leading to an opinion on different those aspects of life we really care.

For this joint venture they invited a composer to bring his personal sound universe -the Belgian Laurent Delforge- on a dance piece that is physical, emotional, rooted, popular and contemporary.
