When the masses will it, the world stands still. When many bodies come together, something more than dance emerges: ‘Multitud’ is a powerful, collective dance experience – a unique convergence of energy, presence and movement. In an age of isolation, the shared experience itself becomes a political act.

For this internationally acclaimed piece, Uruguayan choreographer Tamara Cubas brings together around 80 amateur dancers from Zurich. They developed and rehearsed the piece together on site – a section of the city’s community takes to the stage here themselves. They find common ground, breathe and move together – as a collective body.

The result is a pulsating tapestry of rhythm, closeness and intensity, in which individual impulses and collective dynamics are constantly reshaping themselves. ‘Multitud’ is more than a choreography: it is a physical statement about diversity, resistance and collective power – and the energy of an entire city in motion.
