Art Happens

In Brother Marco da Silva Ferreira looks for a common ancestrality and researches affinity and similarity points which survived generational transfer and are still reminiscent in the body and in contemporary dance. From ancestral patterns to street dance, Marco da Silva Ferreira explores the roots of togetherness through movements. An explosion of colours and energy. Brother is choreographed by a constant mimicry between the performers that generate group movements and behaviours. Non-verbal vocabulary appears and over time it becomes regenerated and transformed by the individual commitment or onlooker manifestations. At the macro-scale it is a thought about heritage, memory, codes, learning and transmission processes.

Brother also literally means “brother”: an attempt of a common pump, a feeling of belonging and affection, an echo of an outside force, and indeed an assumed fragility because of the finitude and statement of loss. An overnight stay for this place, which is done by doing.
