Initially, the Dionysian intoxication of insubmission was honey. From caves where bees were said to sweat honey. Like humans, when the heat turns their skin red and the ‘mania’ sweeps them away from the collective drive to conform. Manifesting itself as a dance of urgency in the amplexus, an urgent dance of a sexualised and multiform Dionysian entity, constantly mutating in its entrails, a revolt of the trees and the forest in silence, a transgression of convinced identities, a transgression of excluded third parties. ‘Sweats Of Honey and Death Will Have No Dominion’, 50 years after the 25th of April, treats dance as insubmission and the Dionysian revolution of Heterodoxy. in articulation with the sensual poetry of Natália Correia, Luiza Neto Jorge, the new Dionysian of A. O. Spare, Plato's Symposium, and Nietzsche's Philosophy/Dance that remains from the previous creation. Insubmissive gifts of art in movement and politics in movement, so that we know how to be in the silence that is dreamt of and walked on, ‘guests of the sacred which does not manifest itself” (N.C) HCC & JvMT
