Tarantula: Inspired by Legends
We draw inspiration from the captivating legend of the Tarantella. Originating in Italy during the Middle Ages, this legend tells the tale of individuals bitten by poisonous tarantula spiders. These victims would fall into a trance, and the only remedy was found in frenzied dancing.
In this age-old narrative, musicians played a crucial role that we realized. They would encircle the afflicted, searching for the precise rhythm that held the power to heal. Much like these musicians, we at Tarantula are dedicated to creating rhythms of entertainment and artistry that captivate and inspire.
We are on a journey that blends tradition with innovation, where the spirit of the Tarantella lives on in our dynamic approach to live events, art exhibitions, creative directing, and consulting.
