Description

Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, has inspired all kinds of artists. To Miguel Moreira, the questions that arose in the studio were: “What effect would these words have on the bodies of dancers? What new states could they bring, knowing that the voice would open up new meanings based on the words?”. About the show, he writes: “With this creation, we seemed to be seeking the image of people who free themselves from their (social and psychological) tethers, who walk free in search of a new meaning for themselves in the world.” The subtitle L’ Ange du Bizarre was added to the title, a reference to Baudelaire’s translation of a work by Edgar Allan Poe (The Angel of the Odd) and to an exhibition that the collective visited in Paris and that influenced them greatly. “In today’s world, everything acquires new meanings every day. Shards of memories of what we experience and of the places we visit. Hamlet will always be a literary work that can light our darkest days, and where we can try to find, with no destination in mind, what keeps us here, tethered to the wonder of life.”
