Dance

Melissa Figueireido - Rasgo, when containment fails

Rasgo is the moment when pressure becomes rupture. In Portuguese, the word names both a tear, a surface broken open, or a sudden impulse, an act of courage that cannot be held back.

Libertad Esmeralda - Broken Bodies

Broken bodies is based on the idea of bodies as fractured social subjects. Anxious, inorganic, counter natural bodies suffocated by a kind of nourishment that does not nourish. They move and transform into strange containers: bodies that measure their pulse, analyze their blood, depend on numbers and statistics, yet have lost the ability to truly feel themselves. Through shifting physical and emotional states, the choreography moves between different personalities inhabiting the same body. Dark moments give way to transformations toward a more honest and raw presence. As the dancer unfolds, she leaves traces of her inner world, inviting the audience on a journey through vulnerability, struggle, and the resilience to be who she truly is.

Milagros Velazquez & Maria Pommorsky, choreographed by Sabrina Rocha - TENUE

Tenue visits themes such as Fragility and fractures of personal experiences in social contexts, the search for community support and feelings of identification in current social crises.
