Pendant que tu volais, je créais des racines

On the edge of a chasm, two beings rely on their survival instinct as they attempt to keep their balance. The gorgeous visual world crafted by Brazilian artists André Curti and Artur Luanda Ribeiro transports us into a dream that completely shifts our perception of the actor-dancers’ bodies.

Not a single word. Everything is communicated through the two characters’ body language, the lighting and the music. Along with a third character: a dreamlike set design in which all is not that it seems. How can one avoid falling into the void? Escape the precipice?

Bodies fuse with digital and plastic arts, giving rise to powerful visual theater. The soul and the skin are laid bare as the duo jump between dream and reality in a succession of images that convey intimate worlds, fantasies and the abyss.
