Colectivo Los Ingrávidos + Codarts: Tonalli

Tonalli is cinema as ritual, with pulsating images, the rhythm of the music and the ecstasy of light flashing in a darkened room. The film has three movements: Xochiyáoyotl (the ‘Flower war’), Tlecacitl (a solar-lunar ceremony where Xolotl, the god of lightning and death, emerges) and Tonalli (the sun’s radiating warmth). In collaboration with student musicians from Codarts who will perform a live accompaniment, this Mesoamerican incantation will stir our Rotterdam audiences.

Tjalling de Leeuw in ‘t Veld: Thoughts in Percussion

An improvised drumming installation performance which delves into the possibilities that lay at the intersection of music, film and technologically-mediated human interactions. Through the premise of a drummer in conversation with their audience, this expressive work aims to enter uncharted visual and percussive territory while laying trust in the concepts of chance and spontaneity. The rhythms of daily life, the fluidity of time and humankind’s relationship with technology all serve as inspiration.
