Carolina Arandia: Aurora / work in progress
The aurora draws a line, marks a horizon that is a division between heaven and earth. What a sacred moment every time the sun goes down. The sun goes down every day. It rises and falls again, repetitively every day.
Aurora is a dance piece, a hypnotic and meditative experience. It tells us about relationships, the fragility and the power of the encounter between two. In an attempt to answer the question about belonging, about what gives poise throughout life; looking for some sacred event, something unique, something strong and intense that provides a reason; the sky appears.

The performers are the generation that was born in Czechoslovakia and raised in either Czech Republic or Slovakia. Today, they all live all around Europe.
The performance resulted from a residency organized by Studio ALTA and it was supported by Artist’s Life Foundation.
