It must have been spring when composer Carl Orff discovered the lusty manuscripts of defrocked monks who had traded in their vows for concerns of the flesh. Orff was so inspired that he created Carmina Burana - music that has become known as his masterpiece.

Argentinean dancemaker Mauricio Wainrot has matched the exuberance of Carl Orff's music with sensual and powerful choreography. A true feast for the senses!

“The unforgettable Carmina Burana was a boiling cauldron of choreography"
– Winnipeg Free Press

“By turns capricious, romantic, lusty and often reminiscent of youthful folk dancing, it's a cornucopia of movement and carefully staged tableaux.”
– Winnipeg Sun
