Der totentanz is a strong poem by J.W. Goethe, Dertotentanz is a series of pictures, in many medieval churches Dertotentanz in german, means: The dance of death.
Is a strong concept wich indicates that there will be one day, one single flash, where in the moment of our death everyone will be at the same level. We all have the same dignity, the same courage and fear, the same power, the same hunger; no matter who is our dad, no matter how brave or coward we are... we can be sheeps or lions, we can have money or not, we can be part or be against the system, we can be clever or common idiots, we will just be all toghether dancing at the same sound, the sound of the death herself.....
Dertotentanz is a band born to follow this symoblic concept. We can succeed or not but what is important is that we are fighting; fighting many small and huge things but all of them are generated by one: moral laxity of humankind.
In fact our brothers and sisters are letting someone else getting decisions for their lives, someone is slowly and quietly pushing to fall into the oblivion, the good old dream of freedom.. sleeping inside our souls.
Our aim is not to run a revolution, is not to destroy a system with violence, not to support or fight against a political party, we've got no flag, no countries, we've got no weapons, we've got no political power nor economic, no fame, no mediatic power and we miss so many other things that we aren't able to list all them here... but we got one thing that people sometimes forget to have: we got brains...
What we are doing then, is trying to jump over some places in this huge queue in order to break it and persuade more people to start up their systems and do the same..
We are not sure our effort will be successfull, but it doesn't matter, what matters is tying and trying again.. so one day, whaterver has happened, we will dance aware of what we have done in our life, not of what we could have done.
