With «Safran» (2005), a light show, both malicious, powerful and as destructive as wind can be, Tonia Schilling pursues her work in the element. With «Offrande» and «Fogo» the choreographer creates the link for the dancers of the programme, a trilogy presented under the title «Sources…» in 2005.With «Sources...», Tonia Schilling makes the link between three of the Afro Rythme Danse Company’s creations, developed over several years.

 

While performing «Safran» (2005), the dancers reach a frenzy passion in «Fogo» (2004), to finally devote themselves with body and soul in «Offrande» (2000) to the adorning of water as a source of life. In 2009 this concept was taken up and reworked, integrating two new creations: «Souffle» (air) and «Beyond the Haze» (earth).
