Anti-colonial dance as resistance against the oppression of Black bodies

How can violence be depicted without endorsing it? Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira lead a trilogy that resists physical, imaginary, and epistemological violence. The third and final part, 'Repertoire N.3,' is a fiery critique of the structural oppression faced by Black bodies.

With references to martial arts and capoeira, Pontes and Ferreira challenge the status quo and offer an alternative vision of a world where Black lives are finally recognized and honored. They break stereotypes about violence and show how marginalized groups experience the world.

Be captivated by an anti-colonial choreography that pushes the boundaries of modern dance and paves a path to a future where equality and dignity take precedence.

Thrilling encounter
