The Brides for Peace project pays tribute to the work and the human story of the Milanese artist Pippa Bacca, who died for having blindly followed her heart to spread a message of peace and hope for a better future.
The show closes the cycle of works on the seven deadly sins with a comprehensive and timely examination of avid human yearning. It is a lavish work of dance, music and theater, performed by four talented dancers who push on further, becoming the promise of a sensual and joyful creation, as well as bearers of hope.
After its debut on March 16, 2010, many performances have been scheduled to take place in the Netherlands until May 6th.
