On September 26 and 27, 2001, DEREVO took part in the project "Dresden' Dance of the Dead" ("Dresdner Toten Tanz"). We made the dance improvisation - "CROSSING".

March 2007 the project continues for DEREVO. Totentanz 07 comes.

March 2011. TOTENTANZ 2011.

From: „Godfather Death “, story by Grimm brothers

„When death saw that for a second time his own property had been misused, he walked up to the physician with long strides, and said, all is over with you, and now the lot falls on you, and seized him so firmly with his ice-cold hand, that he could not resist, and led him into a cave below the earth. There he saw how thousands and thousands of candles were burning in countless rows, some large, some medium-sized, others small. Every instant some were extinguished, and others again burnt up, so that the flames seemed to leap hither and thither in perpetual change. See, said death, these are the lights of men's lives. The large ones belong to children, the medium-sized ones to married people in their prime, the little ones belong to old people, but children and young folks likewise have often only a tiny candle.
