DIMENTI, SALVADOR

O Poste, A Mulher e O Bambu (The Post, The Woman and The Bamboo)
is a scenic investigation into the idea of confession, particularly in its central role in Nelson Rodrigues’ dramatic works. The concept of confession is updated with references to internet blogs, YouTube and similar forms: media overkill turns into the addiction to confess.

Artistic direction and choreography: Jorge Alencar / Musical direction: Tiago Rocha / Costumes: Jorge Alencar and team / Lighting: Márcio Nonato / Production and PR: Ellen Mello

8:00 pm:

GRUPO OITO, BERLIN

Bodies in Pieces
The Grupo Oito, under the direction of the Brazilian choreographer Ricardo de Paula, researches the understanding of the human body in our modern society. Insecurity towards our own bodies leads to prototypes, uniformity and thus an alienation from an intuitive body sensitivity. The performers move along the fragile line between the interior with its abyss and the exterior with its dictates.

Choreography: Ricardo de Paula / Video, photos: Elma Rizza / Performers: Bori Szente, Susy Osterreicher, Melanie Pruvost, Hannah Buckley, Juliana Piquero, Eva Ibanes / Technik: Catalina Fernandez / Video: Fanilatac / Partners: Academia Jangada, Studio K77
