O Samba do Crioulo Doido
Luiz de Abreu turns dance into the means to deconstruct racial identities. By having Calixto Neto replay stereotypes linked to the representation of the black body, in particular during the carnival where it is set between exoticism and eroticism, the choreographer turns this cliché back onto itself, the better to mock racist unawareness. In this radical solo, which derides the forms of classic ballet, he deploys a singular choreographic language, through which he refocuses the question of identity when it comes to the body. The violence of his writing then comes over as an urgent approach to the decolonial question, the heritage of slavery and the contemporary relations with domination. Buoyed up by a transgressive humour, the piece stands as an relentless criticism of the inferior condition of Blacks. From penile games to a misappropriation of the national flag, the point here is to see dance as an instrument for a physical liberation having emancipatory effects, a cry which organises the shift between body-object to body-subject.

Abreu, Luiz de
Born in Minas Gerais, Luiz Augusto Barbose (known as Luiz de Abreu) discovered dance in the 1960s through the rituals of the Afro-Brazilian umbanda religion. The choreographer and performer is a graduate of the Angel Vianna School of Contemporary Dance in Rio de Janeiro, and holds a master's degree from the University of Uberlândia in Minas Gerais. His work, which focuses on exploring stereotypes of the black body, has been shown in France, Germany, Portugal, Croatia, Cuba, Spain and Brazil, where he lives and works. His piece O Samba do Crioulo Doido is part of the Centre Pompidou's video dance collection.

Meeting with literature
Collaboration between a choreographer and a writer can lead to the emergence of a large number of combinations. If sometimes the choreographer creates his dance around the work of an author, the writer can also choose dance as the subject of his text.
When reality breaks in
How does choreographic works are testimonies of the world? Does the contemporary artist is the product of an era, of its environment, of a culture?
