A Invenção da Maldade
Marcelo Evelin conceived the choreography of this new creation as an experience both born from doubt and open to accidents, confronted by the uprising of otherness set in resistance. While the piece was born from memories and reading, it is not actually set in a specific imaginary. After taking inspiration from Tatsumi Hijikata for his previous show Dança Doente, Marcelo Evelin is here shifting away from a referential approach, to keep only an uncertain virtuoso demonstration, whether it concerns choreography, interpretation or musical technique, in favour of a dramaturgy of failure, in a complete imbalance and disharmony. Together around a symbolic fire, dancers and objects become mingled or confront one another, forming an undifferentiated primitive horde. From wounds to healing, they initiate themselves together into pleasure and pain.
