Magdalen College School, Oxford
melos = music | mania = madness
Melomania is neither a dance performance nor a concert but a danced concert that embodies an intense passion for music, awakening the senses. In this performance, two artists express their shared folie for music—one through sound, the other through movement—creating a visceral dialogue where music and dance become inseparable. The festival has commissioned this as a choreography ‘in the round’. Prepare yourself to become part of an intimate, powerful, fragile, daring performance.
