Tell Me Rain

One of the Compañia Kaari Martin ́s most internationally acknowledged work along with The Raven is Tell me rain. It is built around Roni Martin ́s poems and compositions and tells a story about human nature, dependence and regeneration. Intensive relation between music and movement is strongly present. Two of work ́s seven episodes were awarded in world-famous choreography contest, Certamen de Coreografía de Danza Española y Flamenco in Madrid in 2006.
