Theatre: Paradise – Private Collection

More info.

A baroque aesthetic and surreal images are what make up Marlene Monteiro Freitas’ work. The Cape Verdean dancer, gladly known as another enfant terrible of contemporary choreography, opens up the gates to her personal paradise, where it’s forbidden to forbid. Horror, carnal energy, carnivalesque tinges and gruesome rituals reign supreme. While you’ll be hearing reverberating organ music, African rhythms and pop rock melodies, Freitas rules with an iron hand over a quartet of crazed male creatures. She’s the flamboyant maestro in a torero costume that will take over your imagination. The performance is part of Transformers, the programme focused on artists that transform the human body, thoughts and reality.
