Carmina Burana

Carmina Burana consists of 200 poems written by a roving band of medieval defrocked monks and priests, the Goliards. The poetry salutes pagan rituals, drinking, debauchery and all the vagaries that come along with it. Carl Orff, a German composer who supposedly had deep ties with the Nazi Party, set the poems to music and it was first performed in Frankfurt.

"For me, dance is the purest form of human poetry. A blending of music, body, mind and soul that has no language barriers…. Carmina Burana combines romantic sexuality with movement of sweeping grandeur." John Alleyne
