Tradition is wisdom, purified over the centuries. During the rave, the dancers transfigure themselves by connecting to this knowledge that was piled up through millenia. By opening up themselves as much as possible towards this invisible wisdom, they try to share something with the audience from this knowledge through the medium of their bodies.

Rave is a ritual on stage during which the equal dialogue between soul and spirit gets transmitted on the language of the body. Through the transfiguration of the performers, the audience could also benefit from the ancient experience of rave. They could get a taste from the balance ruling the world beyond the everyday life. Together we try to live through and experience this harmony. The three dancers, like three shamans, transmit sensitivity, harmony and peace.
