At the heart of Rio lies a delicate balance, maintained by police actions that protect the wealthy from the city's deep inequalities. Routine "checks" target the poorest residents, serving as intimidation tactics. This keeps the streets safe for theatergoers and mall visitors, shielding them from collective robberies and encounters with marginalized individuals who are confined within the favelas by these invisible barriers.
In aCORdo, we explore the blurred lines between wakefulness, dreams, thoughts, actions, and physical existence. Through movement, a new space is created between public and private realms, where alternative ways of occupying space and bodies emerge. In a confined setting, four uniformed dancers engage in a dialogue with the audience, creating mysterious and transformative connections through the power of dance.
We are excited to feature Alice Ripoll as one of our highlighted artists for this edition of Feeling Curious? Festival. During her time in Rotterdam, she will be working with local talent, bringing her perspective and expertise to our community. Ripoll has been a part of Feeling Curious? since our first edition where she presented her work LAVAGEM.
