Following his last choreographic creation RUPTURES, about questioning the movements of humans on earth in the context of the Anthropocene and the climate change, Bouziane Bouteldja, choreografer of the company DANS6T, extends the experience in calling in, in a play with four dancers, different stories giving an overview of the history of migrations and of the big explorers.
Taking, as a starting point, gumboot, pantsula, gnawa and traditional dances, Bouziane Bouteldja explores bodies in perpetual movements, ancient rituals and dances of better days. In stageplay using natural elements and materials such as water, soil and sand, he works with dances connected to the ground, creating their own rhythm and dynamic of moving and offering the possibility of a better place.
RITUAL DA VIDA, refers to the History of Sapiens, questioning the history of migrations and the big movements of exploration of the world. It creates a connection between yesterday and today, exploring the motivations of this movements and interrogating our perception of the Other one.
The ritual establishes here, like a bridge, a junction between socially separated people, in connecting them, a symbolic and organic way. It also evokes the cycles of life and therefore, a kind of universality.
balleteatro hosts residencies, for which it opens applications, occasionally, at periods to be defined. There are currently no open calls in progress. // At the time of registration, residencies by competition aim to create an opportunity for artists to develop specific projects within the performing arts in conditions of creative immersion. Applications must refer to a specific work project and must foresee at least one action that can be opened to the city. This action should not be confused with a final presentation resulting from the laboratory itself. The projects in the competition must foresee working with local people to be selected according to criteria defined by the author(s) of the project. The project file must contain: project presentation; title; artistic area; synopsis; participants' biographies; schedule; other existing supports and in what format; other elements considered relevant.
This material should be sent to producao@balleteatro.pt.
The duration of the residencies may vary depending on the specificity of the selected projects. If the project continues in the future, balleteatro should be referred to as a co-producer.
