Sci-fi dance performance prepares an imaginary army of female warriors

What would the world look like if you could choose your own weapon? 'Zones of Resplendence' explores forms of manifestation for a potential feminized army. Carolina Mendonça and Lara Ferrari investigate whether you can fight a war with vulnerability, expanding the perspective on violence. By using the body in different ways, they prepare themselves for a possible confrontation. Will this sci-fi dance performance give rise to a new kind of army?

Part of

"Carolina Mendonça is a dramaturg of what cannot be seen and what can hardly be named. A movement of energies through choreographic operations that move circumstances, ghosts, conditions, shadows and decibels. These and other magics bring a new sense of the choreographic, they push and move immaterialities of the body: a choreography of becoming."
