Coprésentation CC Huy

Marco da Silva Ferreira – a leader in the new guard of Portuguese choreography – extends his work on urban culture, which started in his previous piece, Hu(r)mano. Within a historical perspective that is particularly linked to the African origins of many dances, Brother tackles little-known references like Kuduro, Pantsula and Voguing. With seven performers with distinctly different backgrounds, the choreography links these dances and their states of mind in a contemporary fashion. The piece demystifies ancestral affinities, intergenerational transmission and the similarities that unite a community. From an animalistic solo structuring mass effects and disarticulating bodies, we are led to
a place of physical memory, in dialogue with live music by Rui Lima and Sérgio Martins. Tribal and contagious energy in a microcosm of humanity!
