This excerpt of ‘The Unsung’ is a powerful evocation of the lives and dancing of indigenous tribes who lived in harmony with their vast landscape. The dancers, using the ground and their bodies, are also the musicians for The Unsung which reverberates with rhythm and our connection to the earth. Limón researched and visited different tribes, each with a unique culture, and drew from their ceremonies where dancing was an act of power and connection with the landscape - dancing being done long before Europeans came to the Americas.
