Potpourri Dance Darling, you are different

Research-Showing, 35‘

Darling, you are different is a Research-Showing by artists with mixed cultural identities exploring “re-rooting”. Bodies become archives of memory, migration, and transformation. Rooted in Sri Lankan Kandyan dance and shaped by contemporary, street, and club styles, it forms a choreographic collage. As part of Farah Deen’s research, it asks how embodied knowledge shifts in transcultural, diasporic contexts.

Rosana Ribeiro/Selva Tidal Wave 

 Performance, 30' 

Tidal Wave is an intimate duet between two female performers where we witness a microcosmos - through every breath, every cycle, they create a meditative connection between them, diving into a rounded, non-directional, goalless and boundless existence, seamlessly moving between holding and being held, containing and being contained, while also accumulating powerful cyclical forces – an overdue expression of bodies recuperating their voices and spaces.


The audience is taken aboard this hypnotic motion, sitting in a close and embracing view of a circular stage..
