AJAYU Transitorio – 3rd October 7.30pm
By Yuvel Soria. A Bolivian Day of the Dead inspired performance
AJAYU Transitorio (pronounced A-HI-U) means transient soul. It is a magical, multicultural live performance inspired by the traditional Day of the Dead celebrations in Bolivia, which honour the eternal by providing one day each year for the living to be reunited with the departed.
The performance weaves together contemporary multicultural dance styles — including Bolivian dance, Kuchipudi dance, and Afro-Diaspora styles — with atmospheric percussive world music and poetry. AJAYU Transitorio is a ritualistic exploration of traditions and relationships with food, death, and dying, expressed through the magic of cultural practices and traditional rituals.
