Atsumori

This creation is based on the Japanese play Noh Atsumori, written by Zeami Motokiyo in the 15th century. Catarina Miranda studied this play in Kyoto (2018). It inspired her to develop her own narrative, addressing the double affection about the loss and the beginning of a cycle, as well as the appeal of the unknown. The quintet of dancers uses clapping, whistles, sparks, whispers and vocal callings, while it occupies an interstitial space through an apotropaic and rhythmic choreography, in a game of spectres, shadows and metamorphoses, revealed by different levels of visibility. The stage lighting, designed by Letícia Sckrycky and Joana Mário, plays an active role in this game of shadows, amplified by the musical composition by Lechuga Zaphiro, revealing the bodies that dissolve, transform, and seek to emerge and coexist.
