AGUADEIRAS |PORTUGAL/BRAZIL|

Direction: Cris Marcondes and Inês Sambas
Choreography and Performance: Cris Marcondes
Cinematography and Montage: Inês Sambas
Costume Design: Sofia Ribeiro

Water fountains can be considered cultural territories of Portuguese ancestry and the ancestry of many peoples. The “aguadeira” (waterwoman) sacred the water and called upon the magic of ancient and ancestral times, through song and work.
In this film, the authors dive into the gesture, the ancestral voices, and the water. Movements permeated by chants, drums and prayers that refer to the liquid universes of the body. Tracing the winding paths of water, crossing portals, borders, fountains, on the threshold of the fall and the duality of existence, where sweet becomes salty and where the water of the river can be a single drop.

Inês Sambas (Lisbon, 1994) is a visual artist, photographer and film director. She lives and works in Montemor-o-Novo since 2019. She is the co-creator of project “Laurear a Pevide” and the production company “Pernas Pr’andar”.

In 2019 she directed the video-performance “Umbrales”, and in 2017 she directed the short films “Viciada no Amor” and “Catican”. She makes videos because she feels the urgency to record and revive ancestral crafts and knowledge. She considers that going towards this culture and this immaterial heritage is a way of allowing herself and everyone to reconnect with the land and the Sacred. Some of the most important projects she is currently working on are “Vozes de Mestres” (events and ethnographic collection), “Danza Duende” (dancing life), “Healing Forest Portugal” (bringing the Human Being closer to Nature) and “Plantei.eu” (dissemination of regenerative agricultural and forestry practices).

REGISTRO FRANKENSTEIN |BRAZIL|

Direction and Choreography: Fabiane Severo
Video edit: Ricardo Vivian
Sound Design: Álvaro Rosa Costa
Production: Coletivo Projeto Gompa

“Registro Frankenstein” (Frankenstein Record) is a research project of different narratives, exploration of possibilities and expressions of restlessness. Through a scenic miscegenation, it tells the trajectory of a being generated from other beings trying to adapt to the current world, feeling that nothing he does is enough.
The video proposes a reflection about our relationships of belonging, of identification or lack of identification, questioning how much we feel included or part of something, at the same time it proposes a study of the movements and images of the human body. For this, Fabiane Severo, dancer/actress/performer, shows that the body which is formed from fragments, textures, gestures, transparencies, shadows, sounds and words builds an enigmatic and oneiric atmosphere. The production of other aesthetic forms in which the ugly gains space to the detriment of the beautiful and of the form understood as well finished. Disconnecting and reconnecting the body pieces creating a new body from that.
For the construction of Frankenstein Record, we start from the first work of science fiction, written by a woman, Mary Shelley (which at the time generated a lot of noise and controversy). In this sense, we think of the idea of a woman Frankenstein that unfolds in different languages. With the high rates of femicide in Brazil, it is necessary to sensitize the population to respect the body and the way of thinking about women, in a sensitive way.

GOMPA Project is a collective of artists that develops experimental projects in dramaturgy and scenic language, researching intersections between theater, dance, music, visual arts and audiovisual, with emphasis on the fusion of different arts as a narrative principle. The creations are made in collaboration with artists from different schools and companies.

Fabiane Severo is a dancer/performer/producer and post-graduate in Dance from the PUC/RS (2004). She worked with GEDA Cia de Dança (2002 – 2017). She performed in “Il faut trouver” and “Não me toque estou cheia de lágrimas” in national and international events. In 2017, she started working in the Gompa Project Collective as a dancer and actress with the following works: performance in the Ibsen Scholarship Award, 2017 (Skien/Noruega), casting of ”Enemies in the Doll House” (2018 and 2019), ”Little Red Riding Hood”, with text by Joel Pommerat (2017 – 2019), Frankenstein (2019).

LIEBESTRÄUME |JAPAN|

Direction: Naoto Iina
Choreography: Ohno Yoshito
Performance: Ohno Yoshito and Kawaguchi Takao

Butoh dancer Yoshito Ohno manipulates a puppet of his father, Kazuo Ohno, who is one of the founders of Butoh. Or is the puppet manipulating him? Yoshito’s gaze toward his father’s puppet back is sometimes rigid, hateful, but also kind, admiring, and full of respect. ‘Liebesträume’ was filmed in Kazuo Ohno Dance Studio, the legendary and historical studio full of conflict between father and son through dance. The space is full of posters, props, costumes of the day, and a photo of Kazuo with Pina Bausch. ‘Liebesträume’ is based on the footage of Yoshito Ohno in the stage performance ‘On Kazuo Ohno’ by Takao Kawaguchi, edited as an alternative short film version. The Japanese title is 愛の夢(Ai-no-yume).

Naoto Iina is a videographer, director, dramaturg, visual scenographer and producer. Iina is the founder of Dance and Media Japan and International Dance Film Festival.

Throughout the 1960s he was active in Butoh performances until he retired in 1969. His comeback was in 1985 when he appeared alongside Kazuo Ohno in “The Dead Sea”; thereafter he continued to direct all of Ohno senior’s stage performances.
