Dança, onde estás?
The day of the big celebration is almost here, and my Dance is not ready—not dressed, not even wearing shoes… She is distracted by the beauty of the world, the love of the birds, and the radiant stones in her garden.
Sometimes she seems to be in my hands, in my eyes… but suddenly she slips away, lost in her fascinating imagination, mesmerized by the labyrinths of colors and sounds. And now? What do I do? What do I dance?
The performance is inspired by the story Giraffes Can’t Dance by Guy Parker-Rees and Giles Andreae, an expedition in search of what inspires us to dance and what we have not yet discovered something strangely different for each and every one of us.
