Can one dance Bergman? If so, what will it be like? What kind of body will it be? What kind of dynamic will it have?
Drawing inspiration from the Swedish filmmaker’s life and universe, Paulo Ribeiro turns the solo he performed in Sem um tu não pode haver um eu, in 2014, into a collective movement. While the choreographer previously wondered about the relation between man and his reflection, and the essence involved confrontation and body punishment, in this (re)creation the choreographer seeks do deconstruct the initial lexicon in order to find points of light. One dances with the density associated with Bergman’s work to create textures and dynamics that summon humour and emotion, seeking to celebrate the body at all times.
