The Prophecy

Set to an autobiographical poem written in 2016, The Prophecy, is a video dance that is the result of a multimedia collaboration with Carolina Vilela. Over the course of a month, Carolina and I exchanged one video per week that responded to one item in a series of actions based on the prompt : Things I want to do to another body or things I want another body to do to me. Once the month was over, each of us had submitted 4 choreographic phrases. We then asked each other to perform the 8 phrases in an original sequence.

The choreography in The Prophecy was my 8 phrase proposition. Carolina and I’s process continued afterwards to become the choreographic material for a residency at La Generale Nord Est in Paris, France during which we pieced together the many facets of our correspondence between 2016 and 2020 from Brazil, The United States, and France . Notre duo s'appelle, Maintenant du Présent.
