Tu que és colo e conflito
You, Who Are Comfort and Conflict creates a space for the intimate exploration of an intergenerational bond, confronting the realities and complexities of the relationship between mother and child.
Through the rhythmic and cyclical structure of House, we create a cathartic process that unveils layers of repressed emotions and silent regrets, evoking a longing for reconnection.
These two bodies investigate the boundaries between control and surrender, echoing a powerful language that mediates the tensions and nuances of this relationship.
The continuous and hypnotic pulse of the beat establishes a sense of cyclical temporality, where familial emotional issues repeat themselves relentlessly. Just as the rhythm perpetuates itself, these dynamics transcend generations, recreating themselves over time and suggesting a constant need for return and reconnection.
You, Who Are Comfort and Conflict carries a meditative quality in which every step becomes an opportunity to release and reimagine, leading both performers and audience to rethink interpersonal relationships as a fluid and ongoing process.
Here, House is embraced as a means of restoring to bodies — and to relationships — the possibility of healing, through a non-verbal dialogue that holds both conflict and reconciliation.
