Karrasekare by Igor x Moreno

The internationally acclaimed artistic duo Igor x Moreno, creators of BEAT, Idiot-Syncrasy and A Room For All Our Tomorrows present Karrasekare.

Karrasekare, the Sardinian word for Carnival, is inspired by pagan carnival traditions from Sardinia and the Basque Country. Raw and surprising, sweaty yet elegant, it explores the catharsis of communal rituals and traditions.

This dynamic and innovative performance takes us on a journey back to the roots of traditional rhythms that have been accompanying our dances for centuries. Karrasekare takes those rhythms and uses them to create something truly unique and fluid. Karrasekare unearths the queer in the pagan rituals that used to take place in the streets and squares and reimagines them inside a black box.

By challenging any sense of prudishness, Karrasekare captures the sense of chaos, community and catharsis experienced at folk festivals.
