Democracy is inspired by the essay Democracy against the State by the political philosopher Miguel Abensour. Between chaos and balance, precision and vital excess, Democracy offers dance charged with different bodily states, ideas and rhythms, becoming the medium for a polemical community where dancers and drummers deconstruct their established roles.
