I am 34. These last five years have been difficult for me. Europe is a crazy place. I feel lost. My friends feel lost. We are getting old, a bit too old to keep on dancing. But we dance; we sleep during the day and go out at night in a try not to have to reflect on the state of things. Everything is going so fast…ahora que no somos demasiado viejos todavía (now that we are not too old yet) is my effort to produce a reflective space/state; a place to feel safe from all that speed we live in. It is a solo about the passing of time; a dance on how to enjoy movement to compose a formal architecture that allows emotion to burst.

Altrove is a movement score for a re-invented body. Diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease causing a gradual atrophy of the nerves and muscles in his hands, Alessandro began imagining the condition would spread to his limbs and estrange him from his own body and senses. Altrove explores movement beyond the amplitude of the familiar gesture. This solo is the result of a explorative research, beyond and elsewhere what a body can do, feel, experience and sense through thecompositional power of dance expression. In this delicate solo the audience witnesses the creative response of a body breaking free from its own limits.

As a playground of endless possibilites, FAILBETTER creates a landscape of spontaneous relations; to the space, to oneself, in between ourselves; playing with the imaginary of one’s mind. Moments of intimacy, friction and utopia are formed, dissolving almost too fast to be noticed.

The performers find themselves back in an arena of constant attempts to make sense of their words, their actions and their surroundings.

In his new creation Renan Martins draws a thin line between the grotesque and the ordinary where composition becomes a byproduct of the performers’ emotional journey.

The performers are granted full permission to visit their vulnerability, their weakness, their strength…

At times FAILBETTER is more an attempt than an actual piece.
