Black Box, Central Elétrica
MEGASTRUCTURE is a performative dance piece that draws with curiosity the trajectory of two bodies in constant cohabitation. This work deconstructs the traditional format of theater and dance pieces, plays with the expectation of the audience and asks what is necessary to create a performance? Music? Scenography? Light design?
This duet is like a puzzle whose pieces are constantly being dismantled, searched for, tested and reinvented. MEGASTRUCTURE is a choreographic piece without sound composition, without decor, whose natural musicality is generated by the bodies on stage in a percussive energy.
