Six dancers and six musicians form one breathing body that moves, rubs and echoes. Dance and music circle around what was once animate but now feels empty. The music moves between new compositions and influences from musical heritage from Granada to Baghdad, including percussion, ud and violin as supporting voices. In the intuitive movement language, hip-hop and contemporary dance merge into one recognizable, hybrid form. This creates one common language in which sound becomes movement and movement becomes rhythm.
Ghosts weaves together body, music, and memory into a living ritual. The audience witnesses a quest for inspiration—for that which lies dormant beneath the surface and refuses to fade away. From whispers to outbursts, dancers and musicians search for what lies hidden behind rituals that have lost their origins, thereby creating new meanings. For our cultural memory lies within our rituals; they carry the roots of who we are.
