A CHORĂ“S CONVERSATION
with Barbara Crescimanno
The symbolic imagery of tarantism and its connection with the rites of the Summer Solstice
What is still so powerful about the myths of solstice, the sacred waters and the herbs of the season? What aspect of the music still allows it to "free" us from the "poison" through dance? Do these "tales" from the past touch part of our psyche-soma that still needs nourishment? And what is the core, the roots, that link the rites of tarantism with those of the summer solstice?Â
Â
We'll discuss this in a new conversation with Barbara Crescimanno where she will explore the symbolic imagery of tarantism and its connection to the summer solstice. Â
