GRAÇA

Choreography: Elisabete Finger

GRAÇA is a glimpse into the diversity of female bodies and their not always diverse representations. Three performers embody postures and positions, more or less familiar, found in personal archives, women’s magazines, advertisements, paintings, and sculptures. From ancient mythology to contemporary life, how have women been portrayed? Which bodies are protagonists in these representations, and what actions are attributed to them? Here, choreography becomes an “economy” – a regime of activities that governs a dance – to embody narratives, to make and unmake our own archetypes of beauty, power, fertility, ecstasy, love, and war.
