The World in Trance is a piece for 10 dancers who will be accompanied by three musicians. It takes its name from the idea that trance may be an antidote to the incoherent violence of the world. The performance will be a physical as much as a mental experience, manifesting each through a range of musics, from the Gnawa rhythms of the south of Morocco and traditional dance and music from Italy to techno rhythms from all over the world.
