Choreographers
I feel it was a very beautiful and important day, once again we had the opportunity to express what we feel about water though our art, planting a seed in those who participated in one way or another.
Browse the river, feel it, see it, was getting out of the daily routine and allowing a moment of silence and connection. That reminded us that water is part of life, and is such an important part that we can not live without it. Singing to the river was another wonderful moment of connection. The participation of children made our dance are more dynamic and gets all involved regardless of their age

History of Site and Related Water Issues
The Arzobispo’s River before was named Neuque River, because that was the name of the Muisca’s Chief, who was also the water guardian. This river begins in the the National Park’s mountain. It source is pure and clean, but when it arrives to the city, it gets dirty. Furthermore, it shows other types of issues, like the way of homeless people use the river. And finally, in sometimes, the weather is too dry,so it is no water in the river.
