Paisagens… onde o negro é cor

2010

Eight cities inspired the performers to create short solos that mirror a focused, yet deliberately superficial, or touristic if you prefer, view. In Paisagens…onde o negro é cor, choreographer Paulo Ribeiro builds express dedications, anchored in something that every city had in common and that proved to be the most beautiful surprise of this journey through Portugal: the human quality of the encounters. Paisagens… onde o negro é cor is a danced cartography on the identity and sentimental geography of these eight Portuguese locations.
