Exposed, raw and invincible

In ‘Repertório N.1’, Brazilian artists Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira explore dance as a form of self-defense. Stripped bare, without music, and guided only by the rhythm of their shoes, they unfold a vulnerable choreography inspired by subtle gestures of recognition and safety within Rio’s Black and queer communities.

Pontes and Ferreira deliver a riveting performance epitomising precision, presence, and physical intensity. Without uttering a word or shifting their neutral facial expressions, they transform their bodies into focal points of self-expression. Moving in and out of unison, they seamlessly embody both unity and isolation. Their relentless, rhythmic stomping builds a hypnotic momentum, striking each movement with unwavering force and stamina. Even within this vast space, they command attention with magnetic presence and absolute control.
