NATIONAL PERFORMANCE
ANCESTRALIDADE EM MOVIMENTO - Edileusa Santos (Salvador/BA)
Me, you, us?
Transmission of knowledge?
History? Memory?
Principle of inclusion? Belonging?
Construction of identity? Expression of diversity?
Spiral time? Does the body dance time?
In light of these questions, the show “Ancestralidade em Movimento”, taking as its reference the black-African aesthetic matrices in Bahia, in dialogue between tradition and contemporaneity with dance, music, history, image, scenography and poetry, is inspired by the universal character, combining the past, the present and the future. For the scenic elaboration, the work was based on the choreographer’s studies on a teaching methodology focused on black dance entitled “Corpo Tambor: Um Novo Olhar da Dança de Expressão Negra”. It is a ritualistic show inserted in the holistic context where everything is intertwined with the cosmos, which symbolizes the concept of àse. In this space, the circular movement symbolizes the creation and renewal of life, manifesting itself through visual representations that capture the àse of our existence. Ancestralidade em Movimento, a show by Grupo de Dança Contemporânea da UFBA.
