Central Concept
Corpo em Crise returns to the street, its origin, after an intense passage through the theatre.
This adaptation, faithful to its essence, was born from the direct encounter with people, from raw conversations and street-level rehearsals, absorbing the pulse of the crisis in their testimonies and in the very heartbeat of the city.
Now it returns to the public space to convey the viscerality of the crisis through a forceful, uncompromising dance, using an agreed street stage as a ring of confrontation where the power of movement interacts directly with passers-by, fusing the dancing body with the striking urban scenography, the tangible echo of the lives that inspired this piece.
SYNOPSIS
The world wavers before a crisis that reveals the fragility of the economic, political and social structures of our society.
How are bodies transformed in the face of this crisis?
The crisis manifests clearly in the material aspect of our lives; we experience it in our pockets, which indirectly affects our health — but how far does it affect us? what is the crisis? what is its origin? its reach?
Beyond the deterioration of health, we find deterioration in personal relationships and a shift in social priorities.
Beyond the economic origin of the crisis, we find a social crisis, a moral crisis, a crisis of values.
We find fear.
