C A R C A S S

Marco da Silva Ferreira

An unconventional corps des ballets inhabits the cold, foggy stage with a rampant jumping footwork, like a stirring engine. The heat emanating from the thermal and kinetic energies reveals a vibrant, rebellious, community. Reaching a feverish state and sensual physicality, the collective experiences an intense rapture of transcendance, where the invisible, the memory, materializes. From the physical vocabulary of contemporary urban dances, they travel to a heritage of dances also footwork based.
C A R C A S S is a choreographic encounter between folklore dances and minorities communities’ dances, trying to fill in the gap to understand how memory works and how a collective identity is built.
