Gio Lourenço (Angola, 1987) constructs a biographical itinerary in which the body becomes an allegory of memory, using a body with a variety of tempos and the movements of Kuduro. Kuduro emerged in Luanda in the 1990s, against a backdrop of civil war. The specific codes of this style of music/dance reached Portugal through the bodies and tapes of those who travelled between the two countries. It was during his adolescence, at the end of the 90s, when he was already living in Portugal, that Gio Lourenço encountered this universe and became a Kudurista, discovering a broken body – his own – where memory is reinvented through gesture. BOCA FALA TROPA proposes a displaced artistic territory based on a concrete geography – transit between Angola and Portugal – using the stages and codes of Kuduro to cross elements of individual memory, and its inevitable fictions, with elements of collective memory.
How do you pay tribute to ten years of artistic work and creativity that have come to an end? Is there a way of reviving a festival through a dance performance? Armin Hokmi and his team answer these questions intelligently and brilliantly in Shiraz. It’s almost like watching a sunrise or a sunset: at every moment, this mysterious and captivating work reveals new nuances to the spectator.
Six performers weave a pattern of movement, winding and unwinding to the pulsating rhythm of a captivating soundtrack, tracing fluid trajectories that unite them in ephemeral constellations. With an unfailing affinity for the nascent impulses between the dancers, Shiraz highlights the collective work of remembering and dancing together. A practice of love.
