Cruzada
Cinthia Marcelle (Brasil)
In the video Cruzada (Crossroads) presented in Carpe Diem Arte e Pesquisa we observe four groups of musicians at a crossroad, four on each side, dressed in four colours – yellow, red, blue and green. The groups enter the scene one after the other, progressively, to the sound of the different instruments they carry, until they reach the center of the crossing. Then they begin a coreography where colours and sound mix. At the end, the groups are harmonized and leave the crossing one by one, to the sound of the same song, by the four sides.
