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.
