RITO, THE CELEBRATION OF MYTH is born from a syncretic vision of dance and contemporary art that, starting from the offerings to the gods in ancient cultures -mainly classical Greece and Mixtec culture- and the relationship of the dance avant-gardes during the 20th century with mythology, forms a dance piece that is produced within a work of art in the same space and time and as a single device. One, the dance: ephemeral, organic, ungraspable, alive. The other, the sculptural work: reified, ritual, circular, symbolic; which encloses it and reveals it, while preventing it from being touched, tainted or damaged.
