SYNOPSIS

"VIS-À-VIS" is a French expression meaning face to face. Third work out of the partnership between Andréia Nhur and Janice Vieira, "Vis-à-Vis" continues the proposal of reactivating the company Pró-Posição (1973-1983). Produced between France (2011) and Brazil (2012), the work relies on the collaboration of the French researcher Isabelle Launay (Université de Paris 8; Centre National de Danse Contemporaine d’Angers).In this creation, both dancers and emergent from distinct cultural and political contexts, mother and daughter crash their memories and perspectives of art. The mother has earnestly lived and danced the 60s and 70s in Brazil; the daughter was born in the 80s when radical combat left the scene, making way for radical-chic. The conversations which arise from that put not only the two bodies of different ages and movements face to face, but also their ideologies, dreams and actions.
