Bisonte
- 2021
- Dance
Six dancers create an ecstatic firework of movements between tribe and club culture – electrifying sound rhythms, pulsating dance, strong poses make the stage shake and thereby break a heteronormative corset. Marco da Silva Ferreira raises the question of gendered identities. How do you break out of the stereotypes of masculinity and femininity? He uses the metaphor of the bison, which seems powerful because of its size, but is itself prey. An invitation to look behind the facade? Not to be dazzled? The powerful choreography alternates between contemporary dance, urban dance, ballroom dancing and hip-hop. It breaks up the usual gender relations, gives room for individuality and creates a dynamic interplay.
Marco da Silva is a star among the young generation of choreographers in Portugal, since he was elected best young artist in his home country in 2015 and has worked his way inexorably into the international dance scene with pieces such as HU(R)MANOS or BROTHER.
