Impregnation and Solace Over this Irreductible Soil Where With Fruition I Insurrect Myself
Hugo Calhim Cristóvão & Joana von Mayer Trindade
SYNOPSIS Pursuing a choreographic research closely linked to philosophy and literature, Joana von Mayer Trindade and Hugo Calhim Cristóvão depart, this time, from Raul Leal.
The launching point for this creation are two texts of Raul Leal - "Divinized Sodom" and "Antichrist". These contrast a Metaphysics of Longing against the "Vertigo", the "pure manifestation, bright, evident, bestiality of God". This "Vertigo" stands as the driving force of an Apolytrosis, both aesthetic and vital. Apolytrosis (Greek word) means redemption, rescue, liberation. Redimere, the Latin term for the same end, literally means to "buy back", and leads to Redemptio: the act of liberation, rehabilitation, reparation, salvation. One considers his aesthetics of the despicable turned deity, when the Fall is no longer so and becomes Vertigo, which is present with no first past or last future. Two performers express that “pure, loud, clear, beastly” movement, an Apolytrosis, which means redemption or rescue in Greek. The thing being redeemed in this piece is a scream before the ground that experiences the concepts of blasphemy, eschatology, sin, death and revelation. This dance also draws inspiration from Genet, Artaud and Sade, and it exorcises those symptoms and reflexions.
