Raw but silent

for Escola Superior de Dança

Premiered in Dec. 14, 2016 in Escola Superior de Dança, Lisbon

 

"Raw but silent" beckons audiences into the raw, visceral world of Sarah Kane, the provocative playwright known for her uncompromising exploration of human suffering and redemption. This piece serves as a homage to Kane's unflinching commitment to artistic expression and the depths of the human psyche.

Set against a stark and minimalist backdrop, the stage becomes a canvas for the dancers to navigate the tumultuous landscapes of Kane's creative universe. Through a fusion of movement and emotion, they channel the raw intensity and haunting beauty of her words, inviting the audience on a journey of introspection and revelation.

Concept, choreography and light design: Bruno Duarte
