In Ágape an irresistible love is celebrated between the pathetic and the miraculous. Vice and virtue are the guests of honor. Bodies, voices, and tense strings immerse themselves in symbolic games and rites of passage, delving into the pure and the impure, the glorious and the purging.
‘Ágape’ opens a conversation with the unconscious to expiate outdated legacies and inherit authentic pearls. Through shakes, deaths and dreams, new realities will be birthed”.
