Close-up of a performer wearing a patterned hooded costume. A dense fringe conceals the face while the hands form precise gestures. Stage lighting emphasizes the details of the costume and movement against a dark background.
A performer stands before a white wall with arms extended. The colorful costume combines different patterns, fabrics, and textures. The sparse setting draws attention to the body posture and the colourful clothing.

Synopsis

Inspired by the Portuguese word “outrar” (in English: to become someone else) this double bill brings together two choreographic responses to questions about identity, foreignness and transformation. The project was initiated by the Brazilian choreographer Lia Rodrigues, who invited several Brazilian artists living in Europe each to develop their own version of Outrar, using a shared soundtrack, a collection of movement tasks and remote mentoring.

In his version Calixto Neto focusses on bodies that are perceived as alien, divergent or invisible, and explores the potential that lies in this form of social categorisation and in challenging it. By contrast, Volmir Cordeiro views transformation as a process of metamorphosis. Gestures, characters and changing identities produce a game of joy, nostalgia and yearning for another place. Both works develop an individual choreographic approach from the same starting point. Together they produce an evening that sees transformation not as an exception but as a fundamental human experience.
