Awa Odori @ Barcelona Carnival

Details

Description

Eugene Kaspersky: "The Barcelona Carnival – a very old (700+ years) Catalonian tradition. In the tradition of such festive occasions the streets are flooded with painted bodies with lots of attendant drumming, music, singing, dancing, and all other possible ways of having fun.

Anyway, it was here that our next tearing up the rule book idea took shape – to give to the Barcelona Carnival a small injection of Awa Odori! Yes – to get over to Barcelona a professional Japanese Awa team for a serious bit of cultural fusion!

Awa Odori is a most peculiar yet thoroughly entertaining dance. The rules are simple – crouch right down and then energetically jump up and forward, and sing songs – like, for example, the one that goes:
“Dancers are fools, the audience are fools, everyone’s a fool, so why not dance?”!"
