IMPROVÁVEL PRODUÇÕES

This exercise in imagination seeks to bridge distances. The piece weaves between three performers (dancers and musicians), creating a network in which tense lines and temporal distortions define empty spaces, intervals, suspensions, pauses and resonant moments within a non-linear narrative, with the aim of fusing geometry and psychedelia.

Choreographers Marcela Levi (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Lucía Russo (Patagonia, Argentina) founded their training, research and creative platform, Improvável Produções, in Río de Janeiro in 2010. Levi and Russo take a polyphonic approach to their work, which interlinks a variety of inventive positions in a process that encourages divergent lines and internal differences as a constructive critical force and not as self-exclusive polarities. Improvável’s work strives for an experimental aesthetic based on an extraordinary confrontation with the impasses of Brazilian society in which there exists a determined effort to, rather than succumb, transform the difficulties and tensions into the subject of an artistic production.
