A coreographic, installative and musical project by Javier Cuevas and Sara Serrano created through open and collaborative practices with citizens and local artists related to music and choral singing, who are called in for residencies and exhibition contexts. A sitespecific and people-specific piece built over the concepts of resistance, anthem, heritage and symbols.

A site specific version addressed to children and young people in school/educational contexts, that is based on the repercussions that the act of marching, hymns and collective singing have on the body (understood as a physical body and as a political corpus). It is built up from the quality of non-producing, the weirdness of human landscapes, the participation and the questioning of the roles of artist vs. audience. All of it placed in two space levels: outdoor (nature, the city, the street) and indoor (the theatre, the museum, the institution: the re-presentational and production space). A physical and political transit from the archaic-collective to the domesticated-artificial. From the past to the future across bodies, words, songs and symbols.
