ABRACAVALA

06’22, Brazil, 2021

Choreographer, dancer and director: Barbara Malavoglia, Editor and director: Bianca Turner

 

she opens ways

opens the doors

opens the heart,

opens the roads

 

she dances free, 

she beats the hooves

she winds the mane, 

she shoots the arrows

 

go open mare

her heart is blue

all that she fights with

is deep within

 

she comes so bright

as rays of light

she comes so strong

as faith in love

 

Barbara Malavoglia is a dance artist from Brazil. She works with creation, Indian classical dance (bharatanatyam) and yoga. She currently interweaves and shares these universes in her workshops “Vitality Practices – body paths for dance” and in the creation of works like Matakala, Abracavala and Asa. Barbara dances as war, prayer, celebration and medicine.

 

Bianca Turner is an artist, currently working on installations, actions and audiovisual  interventions, developing video projection and video mapping for theater, performance, music and dance, always inspired by the subjectivity of memory and timelessness. She explores the documentation of the ephemeral, the immaterial of an object or a place; the invisible, the subjective and the unspeakable.

 

The film will be part of the screening on 28.10.2022, 18:30-20:00, Festival and Congress Centre – Varna.
