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.
