Festive Mood

Festive Mood is a performance that deals with the emergence of the feeling of celebration and the mechanisms by which it is kept in check. It observes the significance for people to rise above everyday phenomena, and explores the need to raise heroes amongst us to be at the centre of celebration. Festive Mood is an unpretentious tapestry of dance, music and scenes from everyday life and to a degree, even death.
