This evening is a choreographic exploration of the body within the tension between fragility and metamorphosis, not as opposites, but as interconnected processes. Fragility and transformation appear as parts of a cycle in which the human condition becomes visible in all its contradictions: not as weakness, but as strength.
In times of global upheaval, digital acceleration, and collective uncertainty, the works tell a story of becoming and passing, of failure and renewal and invite us not to escape these states, but to give them space. Fragility is understood as a state of openness as a field of possibility and a form of resistance. Metamorphosis unfolds not as a sudden shift, but as an ongoing process in which body, time, and matter continuously shape one another.
SHIVER is a choreographic self-dialogue, a dance with one’s own shadow. The body becomes
a projection surface for inner processes, carrying memory within and making the experience of groundlessness tangible. The stage becomes an inner psychological space in which intimacy becomes visible and directs the gaze toward what is barely perceptible, resisting expression. The movement language shifts between holding on and letting go, between heaviness and lightness, rigidity and liberation.
Patterns are broken in order to open new spaces. The old dissolves, the new emerges. Powerful, vulnerable, and courageous in a world that often celebrates only strength, SHIVER honors the poetic force of fragility and understands vulnerability as a prerequisite for transformation and new possibilities.
NOT YET coproduced by CieLAROQUE and choreographed and performed by LUAN DE LIMA, is dedicated to metamorphosis as a process of memory and overwriting. It reflects on how form transforms, disintegrates, and reassembles. Bodies, images, and matter store traces of past forms that continue to resonate within the new. Transformation appears here as a movement between loss and return.
Alongside the development of independent works in Parts 1 and 2, the third part
HOW TO HOLD AS WALKING BECOMES SOMETHING ELSE is conceived as a transformation of the previous pieces. It absorbs their physical, visual, and emotional traces, condenses them, and brings fragility and metamorphosis into direct dialogue. Images and materials are fragmented and recomposed. Nothing returns unchanged—yet everything remains present as an echo. The body becomes an archive of these processes—a place where past and present, dissolution and form, memory and re-creation intertwine.
A resonant space emerges in which transformation itself becomes the choreographic principle: a continuous reconfiguration of what has been and what can become. Not a conclusion, but an open state—a body in the process of becoming, permeable to rupture, traces, and possibility.
