The Dance of the Quetzalcóatl

The children of the Ledebirds in Ghent get to work with the Mexican musician Israel Alonso and artists of MetX. They will be immersed in the tradition of the ‘Día de Muertos’, a Mexican celebration honoring the death. The result of this special collaboration will be presented in the form of a parade in De Bijloke garden. 

NOMAD focuses on the cultural wealth of the contemporary city. A professional musician creates together with a group of children. The children’s musical talents and cultural influences merge with those of the musician. BIG BANG provides a stage for the results. 

With the cooperation of the Ledebirds.
