European Premier / Talk with the audience: 22nd April, after the performance
The dancers Renata Ferreira from the state of Minas Gerais and Fauller from
Ceará communicate via a series of amateur videos about their experiences
in foreign countries. Their bodies travel and dance throughout the world, where
they seek contact with other people.
Is it possible to perceive these artists behind the stereotypes and their exotic
image?
This installation began as an investigation into the relationship between center
and periphery, in which an ironic questioning of the points of view always
takes place.
