Corpo Nómada (Nomadic Body) is a reverie in motion where four beings explore the territories of encounter. Are they versions of the same story? Reflections of each other in metaphysical or earthly dimensions? The boundary remains blurred, deliberately porous.

Above, aerial bodies dance with a beautiful and fragile freedom. They seek each other out, touch each other, project themselves to other places that may exist only in their impetus. Each gesture becomes an allegory: the precarious balance of every relationship, every aspiration, the desire that elevates, the grace that emerges from uncertainty.

With images and light, we will bring other characters to life in our stories, through projections materialised in different materials and objects, which will follow the musicians and acrobat on stage, giving a life of their own to each of the stories, each of the characters, each musical note, each sung word, each acrobatic gesture.

Below, reality also resonates. The bodies, prisoners of human imponderability, can only communicate through music, through bodies and hesitant proximities. Traversed by past stories or those yet to be lived. They vibrate like their aerial doubles. Without knowing who is mirror or reflection.
The four observe each other as if contemplating an ideal — astonished and nostalgic for a freedom, a living poetry, lost or rediscovered. The other side of the same wandering.
Between earth and sky, between dream and the elements, the sea, the air, the soil and unpredictability, Corpo Nómada weaves a cosmogonic and volatile tale. Sensual and profound. A story of nomadic bodies that do not seek a destination, only the fragile moment when two trajectories cross — and the sublime vertigo of that moment.

 

Strobe lighting is used in this show.
