Cravo (2021)

A road appears on the threshold between fiction and reality. In the distance, two figures appear bent over themselves. Progress is inevitable. The image of the road shows a path that both unites and separates them in different times and places. Sometimes the impulse to run, sometimes the silence of verticality. Laura Samy and Alice Poppe revisit figures from the solos Dança Macabra and Máquina de Dançar, respectively, instigated to weave new narratives through the common gesture of leaning over themselves. Now, in Cravo, the two figures advance side by side, moved by the senses of struggle, dream and memory that each one builds as they advance. Leaning over oneself restores the body as listening and refers it to the irreducible spacing of its contours.
