“Neanderthal is a human feat. It is the (not that distant) cousin who appeared before the sapiens. It is the dance of the medicine men. It is the manipulation of collective conscience. It is yesterday and today. It is dance, live music, theatre and video art at the service of beauty. To feel the essence of primitive human beings in modern day humans. (…) How will we be looked upon by the civilisation that follows ours?” David Vento
