Portuguese dancer and choreographer working on the tension between choreography, sonority and relational space
HIDE TO SEEK
HIDE TO SEEK intends to think of the mask as a crystallization of an expression, state of mind or (identity) but also as a possibility of (dis)identification for the emergence of a distinct corporeality. In a tense and ritual game of hiding and seeking, the body redefines itself with each gesture, letting itself to be transformed by its successive repositioning. We seek an evident dialogue between impervious form and changeable form, between the singular and the collective, which allows the impression of the mask on the face and the invocation of otherness on the body.
