Gray Zone

Release

Gray Zone[1] dialogues body and architecture in a conscious desire to inhabit the in-between spaces. The work places a body between everyday life and the extra-everyday, and invites the gray-toned spectator to an immersion experience between the performing arts and the visual arts, between movement and paralysis, between impulse and rupture. A state of transformation that is established through permanence. An insistence on presence and an invitation to sharing and subversion. The time of the event is conflated with the museum’s visitation periods, and the public is captured by its own autonomy in the face of actions that spread through the gray spaces. What states will the body be subjected to? To survive or to give up? Denilto Gomes Award for Best Cast 2022.

[1] This research arises from the group’s interest in deepening the concept of “Gray Zone,” developed by Claire Bishop (2018), which defines a mixed environment between the black box (theater) and the white cube (museum), and this reference aligns with the company’s research on choreographic installation, developed from the work “Urban Flesh” (2017).
