'We are going to make you dance.' Patti Smith: The construction of a legend

'We are going to make you dance.' Patti Smith: The construction of a legend

Just as she puts music to her poems, Patti Smith manifests her presence at Taiat Dansa, an exploration of the codes and aesthetics of rock’s choreographies.

Patti Smith, one of rocks living legends, is an enduring symbol of the modern era.

Her stage presence is so exquisite that the moving body is the most reliable way to interpret her music. In We are going to make you dance, the young Spanish company Taiat Dansa creates an on-stage experience by exploring and questioning the role of choreography in the rock universe.

What happens when bodies express musical phenomena? And back in those days, when Patti Smith was elected High Priestess of Punk, how did bodies move?
