The new darling of the European dance scene, Portuguese choreographer Marco da Silva Ferreira presents his most ambitious work, celebrating the contemporary body with phenomenal intensity.
A self-taught choreographer and former elite swimmer, Marco da Silva Ferreira quickly developed his own language inspired by a variety of urban and popular influences. He shares an explosive energy with Hofesh Shechter, for whom he has also danced. For Ferreira, the body is above all political, a catalyst for exploring community, memory and cultural crystallization.
An eclectic cast of 10 performers, accompanied by a percussionist and an electronic musician, form a vibrant, rebellious and carnivalesque ensemble in search of a collective identity. In a constant flow of movement, they electrify the stage with continuous footwork that soon combines with movements derived from voguing and house dance, as well as timeless traditional forms.
