Solo for the theatre, all audiences from 10 years old
Mundo Interior, solo de João Paulo Santos, est une pièce de théâtre-cirque performative qui met en fusion mots, mouvement et musique.
…A word stubbornly invites you to search for its meaning, what really caused it. But even as it seeks to reveal, the word hides its origins. The word is a coating that covers, as a means of concealing the force, the stimulus, the energy, the ideas, the heart. A word is a hiding place. Words convey an idea, but the inner world is much deeper. The word as the tip of an iceberg, whose submerged part represents what he really wants to say, think, feel or see. The word like a drop out of a funnel, like the rest of what is. The distillation of the thinking being. So we need to speak two languages, two words. A two-sided language. We must express ourselves through complementary languages, of which movement and word are the modalities of expression. Speaking movement, speaking poem. A feat with words, like dancing, like climbing a pole. The feat of the word. The feat of climbing the word pole.
João Garcia Miguel
Teaser – Mundo interior
Mundo Interiorproposes two parallel stories: a body and a voice attempt to translate the bitter search for meaning and light which is that of every individual who wants to understand the world.
The body is that of João Paulo Santos who dances the story of his journey from a child of Lisbon to a recognized artist who has written a page in the history of his art. He dances this road of effort, doubt, joy and fragility.
The voice is that of the poet who examines the human experience, its desires and ambitions, its quests and mistakes.
Seeing this one dancing, lifting and breaking, hearing this other one telling what it is to be a man, the spectator feels himself living.
