Victor Hugo Pontes • DANS LE CADRE DE 3 SPECTACLES AUX ABBESSES
En abonnement dès le 27/08/2020
TWENTY PERFORMERS—ACTORS, DANCERS, AND GROUPS OF CHILDREN—FOR AN URGENT JOURNEY TO THE MARGINS OF A VIOLENT SOCIETY.
In 1937, the Brazilian writer Jorge Amado published Captains of the Sands, a controversial short story that poeticizes the daily life of a group of young people adrift, struggling for survival by protecting each other. These young Misérables, living on the margins of society in Salvador de Bahia, could only inspire Victor Hugo Pontes, a well-known Portuguese choreographer and director whose political activism lives up to his name. For Margem, he is working with a group of twelve professional actors and dancers surrounded by amateur children who will form a small community powerfully united to fight injustice. Margem conveys the urgency of an authentic verbal and corporeal memory that dispenses with taboos to bravely tackle racism, sex, death, and hope.
