This piece is a dedication to the victims of the Vargas tragedy, which occurred on 15 December 1999 in Venezuela. Torrential rains, flash floods and debris flows killed tens of thousands of people and destroyed thousands of homes—as much as 10% of Vargas' population died and whole towns like Cerro Grande and Carmen de Uria completely disappeared.
Bin-Nam-Ma transforms a Catalan folk song sung by children on rainy days into a desperate plea for relief from the onslaught of the floods. Combined with choreography, this piece ends with a dance of hope that one day, their city might be able to rebuild itself and recover from such an immense disaster.
