Garden of Lights - A message to the world.

Last July Lamondance went to Brazil as a guest company for the opening of the International Dance Seminar as well to create a number for the closing ceremony of the festival. 

During their stay in Brasilia for 3 weeks the company had the experience to work with two other companies: Dance 2000 from Brasilia and Faces Ocultas from São Paulo in the creation of Gardens of Lights choreographed by our Artistic Director Davi Rodrigues.

Garden of lights - Brings the awareness to the world of the tragedy that 15 years ago happened in  New York City with the 9/11 attack leaving an eternal scar in the world.

"I was touched so deeply when I visit the 911 Memorial last June 2016 that my heart and soul wanted to speak". - Davi Rodrigues

 "Garden of Lights" a simple way to remember the 2,982 lives were taken away and a message to the world that life is short and there is no time for hate.

Here is a short video of the Creation that will also be remounted for Lamondance Season 8 here in Vancouver.

INSPIRED by the photo “GARDEN OF LIGHTS" By Pierre David with Sean Corriel. An idea that Jessica Kmetovic proposed for the 09 / 11 memorial in New York combined with the book "THE POWER OF NOW" by Eckhart Tolle. There was a last hour, a last minute, a last second that 2,982 stars went dark. A cloud passes over the city; it is a shadow on the garden, a sparkle in the stars below, a glimmer on the altar, a flicker in the soul. With intense and compelling clarity, Garden of lights holds the promise of leading us to a Spiritual awakening of our best and highest place within to resonate with and reflect the energy of true transformation as we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate. The garden of lights links the sky above to the new sky below a new rhythm for the city. A nation still stands up after this tragedy. Garden of lights was specially choreographed by Davi Rodrigues for the closing gala of the International Dance Seminar in Brasilia Brazil in July 2016. It had the participation of Lamondance company, Dance 2000 from Brasilia and also Faces Ocultas from São Paulo.
