Departure
Origen Cultural Festival
Juanjo Arques’s choreographic work Departure is dedicated to the Exodus and illuminates the topic from a contemporary perspective.
What is the meaning of exodus these days? Why do people travel around the world? What drives all peoples to leave their homeland? Is it the economic success, the escape from poverty, the pursuit of happyness? Or is it rather the war, religion, politics, fainting?
