DIFvoarteWasteland António Cabrita and São Castro Contemporary Dance Performance
This is our territory ... Devastated, apocalyptic, fertile.
What happens when we think that we don't have anything to say, nothing to see. How does our body react, facing a hostile space and a physical emptiness of an individual who is fascinated by any extension of himself in any other material besides himself.
A collection of stories and moments in the organizing and configuring process of reality extended to the imaginary, the physicality of ideas.
To conquer the territory with the body...
The body becomes the territory...
