What
is entirely new and contemporary about the Tarantella Trance Party is presenting
this concept in a space, namely the discotheque, which was previously completely
unprepared for this kind of sound. I
want to create the right conditions to enable the archaic music of the South Italian
Tarantella and its original forms to find appreciation in the urban multiethnic
music scene in Berlin. Just
as it means a lot to me to emphasise those elements of this music and dance culture
that have their roots in the Mediterranean area, I also want to bring out the
modern spirit of dance. The
success of my party concept also relates back to the choreography of the various
Tarantellas in which the group plays an important role. They offer a real alternative
to the more individualistic style of club dancing. In this way it would
be wrong to see the Tarantella Trance Party as simply an import from a foreign
culture. It is actually typical for Berlin. |
