An Indian dancer, soft and nomadic like sand, glides across the stage and does the cobra dance. Proud, sensual, invincible. A long choreographic veil billows out with each step, each posture; it charms, shocks and enraptures.
A breath of cocoa, and the patchouli takes over, we are in the home of the Kalbelia women who bewitch the souls who come to confide in them, to rest and to dance with these Naja sisters. Spices from every corner of India, the cradle of cosmic knowledge, are like joyful, fragrant confetti thrown up in a huge alley, the alleyway of kings covered in incense, sandalwood, leather and dunes.
Sand Dance is inspired by the most sensual dance movements of the Kalbelia dancers, a nomadic people from Rajahstan, the land of kings in northern India and the gateway to the Orient. The women, wearing sublime black and multicoloured dresses with jewels, undulate gracefully and supplely like snakes. They twirl to the sound of the musicians who follow them in their inspiration until they reach a state of trance that provokes great emotion.
Sand Dance is a sensational performance in the heart of the desert, where the burning wind carries in its wake a breath of spices. A captivating fragrance, made of warm and sweet notes of Cacao, with a hypnotic beauty and charm.
