TUTUGURI

FLORA DÉTRAZ

Tutuguri is a solo piece. Here vocal cords and body are playing together, offering to «hear» dance. In a polyphonic solo piece, Tutuguri explores the dissynchronicity between movements and sounds, in a perpetual conflict of opposites. The dancer’s body is inhabited by whispers, animal growls, children’s noises, alien sounds, conversations, spasms, singing from the guts, transporting us to a spectral landscape of voices. Tutuguri aims to connectedness, it proposes fluxes of sounds and affects and promotes bridges to nothingness.

ESPECULAR O QUE ESTÁ ENTRE NÓS 

JORGE GONÇALVES

A temporary collective of three performers investigates how corporeal and oral processes are transmitted through the immateriality of dance practices. Based on actions of interpretation, adaptation or contamination of their practices, performers revisit and transform their experiential archives into choreographies, fictions or demonstrations, and summon the public to an injunction space between participation and contemplation.

Concert/Performance

ANYWHERE ELSE

ANTÓNIO OLAIO 

It’s a performance that encompasses multiple performances, as a set in a concert. Characters that unfold, especially in different places.
A journey started in the 80s, where the desire to dance, even without leaving the same place (performance Il Faut Danser Portugal!, Georges Pompidou Center, 1984) resulted in songs.
Since then, my performance, with a few exceptions, has been diluted mainly in the field of music and concerts. In this new Anyhere Else project, I create songs featuring various musicians, different songs in different collaborations that I present as a performance, joining the voice to the recorded music, and each song a performance situation. Thus, finally, the journey of songs returns, in this project, to the performance: a visual artist at direct speech featuring songs. The scenic space is autonomous by using video, music and the voice that sings more than it speaks, offers itself as a place of contemplation as if the performance cross-dressed as a spectacle as those who present themselves as such.

Solo performance of songs created featuring:
Richard Strange, Victor Torpedo, Vitor Rua, Frederico Nunes, Anselmo Canha, Paulo Furtado, José Valente, Érika Machado, Silvestre Correia, Susana Chiocca, Luís Figueiredo, Ana Deus, Haarvöl, Pedro Tudela e Miguel Carvalhais

With the live performance by Susana Chiocca in Where did she go?
