Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Auraco returns to Annantalo!
Embrace is dance and music, joy and color. Wonderment and smile. Maybe a little bit of bafflement, too. Embrace is many arm lengths of nonverbal interaction between the audience and the artists. Dance and mime theatre Auraco’s new work Embrace is a gentle and beautiful artistic moment that has no best before date; it is always best, experienced embraced. The starting point to this work is the idea of a shared embrace between a child and an adult, where the natural interaction is strong and powerful. For a child, being in an adult’s arms is a sanctuary and a place to grow.
