PEPERUDA 🦋
an immersive dance work by surdce dance collective
“Temna ye magla padnala, di li do, di li do…”
An ancient ritual walks into the city of London.
A show about being together and building hope through caring, dancing and helping each other.
Inspired by the Balkan rainmaking ritual of Peperuda, six dancers bring an ancient tradition into the present, exploring how we gather, support one another and find hope through collective movement.
Join us at St Ethelburga’s for the London premiere - an invitation to experience dance up close and share a moment of togetherness in the heart of the city.
