Synopsis:
How to work with Dançando com a Diferença?
How to work with each and every interpreter of this creation?
How to balance so many different presences?
This question has run through and guided every day and every process we have gone through to get to Vaamo share oque shop é Beiro Pateiro.
One hypothesis presented itself from the beginning as very strong: Nuno Rebelo's proposal that we use the configurations and instruments that he has been applying in his Orchestras of Non-Musicians. A proposal that was crossed with the experimentation of resources that are very habitual to me, like the work of the hands and gestures, the exploration of objects, the "not-knowing", the "meaningless", the filmed improvisation, the use of the word and the voice, the confrontation with elements present in my older works...
rom the very beginning of the process I came across a characteristic that had a strong impact on me: a contagious joy in the studio, the impression that there is always cause for celebration, for feasting, for jubilation, even in this pandemic period, or perhaps especially in this pandemic period...
What they do without being asked, the way they react to requests, the surprise reactions, and all those situations that erupt at various moments during rehearsals and that are not repeatable were, in many moments, the reason for this daily joy and clearly contributed to a closer approach to the individuality of each performer.
Then André Guedes, Constança Entrudo, and Cristóvão Cunha arrived and brought into play environments and colors that contributed even more to this jubilation.
What is this play about? More than being "about" something, it lets itself live under a regime of free and often non-verbal associations that are for me a very faithful portrait of everything I lived and experienced within this group.
This is the Vaamo share oque shop é Beiro Pateiro.
