Sinopse
Corpo Clandestino is a place of speech for seven performers. The bodies of Ana Afonso, Andreia, Gaya, Joãozinho, Mafalda, Paulo and Valter are identity vessels: they produce images we don’t forget; they tell us things we wouldn’t imagine hearing. These are non-normative bodies that throw the spectator into a rarely glimpsed landscape without a net: a corps de ballet shaped in contrast to classicism and ideals. In this creation, Victor Hugo Pontes above all puts forward a possibility of communicating and sharing. We can all occupy and share the same world—and the same stage—no matter how different everyone’s bodies are.
