WHERE BIRDS CRASH AND DIE - TRIPTYPE - 2022
This work is constructed as a body, a triptych: Video . Performance . Mobgraphy
Composed of an inter-media creation process and expanded languages, the work has a video, a performance and a set of photo performances, all of the same name and numbered 1/3, 2/3 and 3/3 respectively. They can be presented separately or at their maximum power together.
Mirrored facades built by humans kill birds. This work is willing to listen to the human and non-human bodies involved in this issue: the birds (in video), the mirrored facades simulated in a flexible and thermal materiality (the performance) and the human being's gaze on this issue (the mobgraphy). The three parts that make up the whole have their ignition from an excerpt from the poem Amavisse (1989) by Hilda Hilst for the construction of a spiral dramaturgy mapped always from the other, also inviting the spectator to observe attentively and beyond.
“I only sang to you
Bird-poetry and the limit landscape: the moat
the extreme
The Convulsion of Man”
PART 1/3 : video
David Hinton created Birds, a disruptive and provocative video dance with birds. As a videodance response to Hinton, through an excerpt from a poem by Hilda Hilst, the work builds a choreographic dramaturgy of the insurgency of non-human bodies. In a collective and social dance, they subvert the events that humanity imposes and that, through movement and collective sense, restore their space in the world.

The performance takes place in an improvisation game between two bodies, one human and the other non-human, based on some already established gestures worked on in repetition and rescue. Sometimes two, sometimes a body is visible, sometimes bodies are space and reflect the surroundings. Bodies become space trying to contradict the maxim that two bodies cannot occupy the same place. YOU CAN NOT? The performance takes place based on pre-established rules, but it also opens up at random to the actions of other elements that can act in the work, such as the incidence of air and sounds.

OTRA (2019)
OTRA (2019)
As far as things go, a measure for things. Measure for everything. Whatever fits me and what I do fit. A synthesis that adds and an addition that removes. I withdraw to add creating a new skin in exchange at all times being in and out at the same time. I create skin, carcass, armor, extra limit that blurs. A porous carcass that feels strange welcoming me, fits me. A gentle carcass that welcomes me with a hug and shows me what it is like to be in another way.
OTRA is an unreasonable reflection on our measure or the measure they give us. It is about ways to understand how we add worlds, now we, now things. Still us, a constant another of us. The work started its creation when contemplated by the CCO RJ 2019. artistic residency program, performing in fragment / in progress format at Teatro Cacilda Becker (RJ).

DERIVATIVE MANUAL (2018)
MANUAL DERIVADO (2018)
Manual Derivado is a performance that makes the counterpoint between manual knowledge and technology. It proposes that we turn to our ancestral creative skills and knowledge lost along the way and time. Starting from immersions and reflections on technical objects and gadgets by Jean Baudrillard, the work also provokes the substitution and subversion of uses of objects in ambience and in line with their function or not. Resignifying the obsolete electronic thread in a constructor thread for knitting / braiding / weft together, without a pre-established form, without physical or aesthetic purpose, the exchange of knowledge and practices happens in the instant, ephemeral, as well as reflection. Dialogues, sharing, collective construction between artist and audience.
The work has already been presented at the Choreographic Center of RJ, at CRAB (RJ), at the Municipal Art Center Helio Oiticica selected by the invitation Pega II of the magazine DESVIO, Imagina Transforma_ação UFF CMAHO, Caixa Preta RJ, Apis Space as the program of the festival Corpos Crítico # 2, and Museu da República RJ.
