Tellus
Dickson Mbi
Project Overview
TELLUS is the third collaboration between Dickson MBI Company and YeastCulture.
The title of the show comes from the Latin word ‘Earth’ or ‘Earth Goddess’ and the performance is a ritual channelled through dance, reconnecting with the power source that created the earth and all the ancestors that followed. YeastCulture created two 2 sections of video design that appear in the piece called ‘Just Cry’ and ‘Mother’.
