DANCE HURTS / INTÉRPRETES EM CRISE questions the place of the dancer in contemporary times, problematizes the formation of the incredible dancer and mourns the conditions given for the creation and dissemination of a contemporary dance performance.
The work goes through our memory of dance, rescuing and projecting times we live or would like to have lived to talk about this crisis of making dance, this crazy desire to dance, the love of dance and also other clichés.
A dancer who wants to be a dancer, who takes 3 classes a day, who takes redbull and muscle relaxers, who dances in a great company, who doesn't eat gluten, who dyes his hair red, who has a show scheduled until 2025, that that's all that always wanted, that he feels tired most of the time, that he is not going to have his knee operated on, that he gained weight, lost weight, gained weight, lost weight and started smoking, that he is not a young choreographer, that he loves dressing rooms, the smell of mold and mothballs, who doesn't write projects or work in production, who read Dançar a Vida by Roger Garaudy, who dances in her socks on the linoleum, who likes romance, cinema and drinks at the dancing. Dance hurts.
