“We live in ourselves. We all live in ourselves.” Hu(r)mano, an urban dance piece by the emerging Portuguese choreographer Marco da Silva Ferreira, creates a world of ever-shifting relationships: the dancers’ body movements, from union to division and from individual to collective, explore the tension between “human me” and “urban we”, an echo of the modern urban reality.
With blank stares of expression, the quartet dancers are sometimes connected and sometimes scattered in the same space like four motionless wild beasts. Gradually members are loosened and the music is growing, leaving a dense and explosive energy. Their energies meet and repel, and multiple relationships between performers are built. Burlesque and troubling situations intertwine, leaving the dancers into a gap to find their space, their “ideal” location.
