FRED HERRERA

GIANT OF SALT

source: youtube

A man wakes-up in the frontier between life and death. He feels his body shaking. He is lost in a dark place. Slowly he discovers unknown possibilities of his body. He searches for light in middle of utter darkness. Gradually he transforms himself into a creature of light ! An imaginary journey leading to the mystery of metamorphosis. This dance is a poetic journey inspired by the ancient human quest to find life after death. Dying to be reborn again… Time : 50 minutes. Convenient for all audiences.
