Natural Drama
Pe_Ferreira19-_j.jpg)
Since my first work, Farci.e, I have been exploring the notion of transgression, with a particular focus on the potential of reappropriation. Reappropriation can bring to light what is masked by binary thinking: the hybrid myths hidden between left and right, man and woman, human and animal, good and bad, physical and spiritual, natural and industrial...
Natural Drama questions the concept of “Nature” through the lens of contemporary environmental issues and from a historical and socio-political perspective, with all that implies for the body.
Natural Drama is a kind of futuristic mythology with its roots in dance traditions both seen and hidden, preserved and lost.
