ELO
Winner of the APCA Award for Best Dance Premiere (2019)
SINOPSIS
I, added to the Other, create the understanding of “us”: untied, unchained, yet united by play, by movement, by affection. ELO (Portuguese for Bond) is a poetic proposition for alternative spaces that creates a dialogue between body, architecture, and audience in search of another way to look at the city, inhabiting the invisible. What is the urgency of this body today? Against the death drive, there is only the friction that generates empathy and alterity. An exercise in making visible a new perspective of the city through the encounter with the other.
Bodies in poetic detours that seek the anarchy of affections. A pulse for empathy. The smile as an invitation, and the body as the home of the other. What moves you? How do you practice empathy? To touch was, still is, and forever will be, the true revolution. ELO.
