DAVI PONTES & WALLACE FERREIRA Repertório N.3
In the organizer's words:
EN
Summer festival debut of two artists whose visionary choreographies turn the body into an instrument of resistance and self-empowerment.
Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira explore strategies of resistance with magical intensity in their performances. In their REPERTÓRIO trilogy, which is shown worldwide in galleries and at international festivals, the two artists from Rio de Janeiro develop choreographies of self-defense and were awarded the jury prize of the "ImPulsTanz - Young Choreographers' Award" in 2022. Originally conceived during the Bolsonaro regime, the series choreographically explores how the body develops its own ability to defend itself. Based on their personal experiences and movement practices such as capoeira or baile funk, Pontes and Ferreira draw on a collective archive of black physicality. They survey the stage with stomping steps, interrupting their powerful movements with playful gestures, thus evoking a forgotten movement repertoire of black resistance. REPERTÓRIO N.3, premiered at the recent São Paulo Biennial, now unfolds new interpretations after Brazil's liberation from Bolsonaro - and marks the summer festival debut of a duo whose stage presence captivates audiences worldwide.

Summer Festival debut of two artists whose visionary choreographies turn the body into a tool of resistance and self-empowerment.
Davi Pontes&Wallace Ferreira develop choreographic strategies of resistance with visionary imagination. In their Repertório trilogy, the Rio de Janeiro-based artists develop choreographies of self-defense for which they received the jury prize of the "ImPulsTanz -Young Choreographers'Award" in 2022. Originally conceived in the context of the Bolsonaro regime, the series uses dance to explore how the body develops its own ability to defend itself. Drawing on personal experience and movement practices such as capoeira or baile funk, Pontes and Ferreira harness a collective archive of Black corporeality. They measure the stage with stomping steps, interrupting their powerful movements with playful gestures, thus evoking a forgotten movement repertoire of Black resistance. Repertório N.3, premiered at the recent São Paulo Biennial, offers new readings in the wake of a country liberated from Bolsonaro's repressive politics - and now marks the Summer Festival debut of a duo whose magical intensity captivates audiences around the world.
