Dança Doente
- Tanz im August
After more than 30 years as a dancer and a choreographer, Marcelo Evelin began to ask himself: what can dance (still) do? In his new work “Dança Doente” (Sick Dance) the Brazilian takes up the writings, images, and dance of Tatsumi Hijikata, known as the founder of butoh. Evelin is interested in Hijikata’s ambiguous ideas and radical suggestions. He seeks a dance that is infectious in both senses of the word, and that conceals a premonition of death. After all, Hijikata described the dancer as an upright corpse, and butoh as a “dance of darkness”.
