Cafezinho

Cafezinho is a multigenerational reflection on time and finitude, with a cast of dance, voice, and music performers, between 23 and 61 years old. The research is based on Café Muller by Pina Bausch and other post-war references, of reconstruction of places, collective, and intimate, which were devastated by the idea of the end. 

This project aims to look at classics and cannons and think about what we want to survive time. Furthermore, it expresses the desire to leave the purgatory in which we find ourselves in, and create strategies that put anxieties to sleep in order to awaken new drives - to caress delicate powers and add fuel to incendiary powers. Cafezinho proposes dancing like someone sending another Voyager Golden Record into our future and facing time head on, paraphrasing Viviane Mozé, who said: “Time, if you’re going to eat me, let it be with my consent and looking into my eyes”!
