Description
From the past to the present, these Aztec dancer build a bridge between inspiration from ancient ritual and traditional dance, bringing it to a modern audience and reminding everyone about Mexico’s Aztec (and mestizo) past. Each routine reflects the duality of the Aztec culture, with women, the night, the jaguar and the earth on one side and men, the day, the eagle and water on the other, and features circles heavily.
This dancer, holds a smoking cup honouring the Gods and forming a link with the cosmos is the overall goal of the concheros’ dance. For that reason, the four cardinal points are blessed before the start of the routine and steps are dedicated to the harvest, fertility, earth, fire and water. There are also several instruments incorporated into the performance, such as the concha de armadillo guitar from which they take their name, the huehuétl and teponaztle drums, as well as ayoyote and ayacachtli maracas/percussion instruments.
Truly this was an experience to watch.
