C A R C A Ç A
Shows - installations
Boosted by a phenomenal energy and densely percussive music played on stage, the ten performers of the ballet C A R C A Ç A combine clubbing gestures with movements inherited from folk dances.
Marco da Silva Ferreira orchestrates a whirlwind of gestures, music, lighting and costumes that produces high doses of dopamine. The Portuguese choreographer, who was associate artist at the ccn de Caen between 2019 and 2021, deploys a particularly inventive vocabulary here, where the footwork of voguing and house coexists with movements derived from folk dances. The ten performers move in and out of the stage, varying choreographic combinations and changing costumes on stage. Performed in powerful waves guided by a drummer and an electronic musician, dance is conceived here as a tool for research on community, memory and cultural crystallization. Caught up in a physical and intuitive flow, the performers form a collective searching for an identity. C A R C A Ç A gives a place to their individual histories within a new, inclusive community.
