Cia Aina Lanas - "Mawu"

​

MAWU  starts in 2018 by a group of women, -all of them dancers- lead by Aina  Lanas, iniciating with the idea of femininity as a creative force,  through the amalgam of universal concepts related with the implication  of women and mother earth and the benefitial aspects that this  relationship lets out . They use goddess Mawu as a source of  inspiration, that in Fon culture (West Africa) is the feminine part of  creation, and among its qualities they find harmony and generosity. As  it was known in the matriarchy, the power of this goddess is not  conceived as a threat to individuality but as an innate understanding of  the laws of nature. It is the feminine source of the universe and  symbolizes fertility, abundance and creative imagination.
