The Damned and the Sacred
Dans, Grozny dans
Report on the European tour of a dance company from Grozny, Chechnya. The group is made up of children between six and sixteen, who practice at home between the ruins, and then perform in the most beautiful theatres in Europe. The children don’t just want to dance, they have to; it is the safety valve for their overloaded nervous system, a way to avoid going crazy.
