Performance and Choreography: Andrea Krohn Music: Música dos Povos Timbira (Amjekin) / Índio quer apito – Haroldo Lobo
„Do you hear nothing?
the chirping of the cicadas
persistent
the breath of the evening“
For this piece, the artist got inspired by various aspects of brazilian traditional culture. In particular, from the traditional history of the Boi Bumbá and story telling from the original inhabitants of Brazil. The performer questions the expectations that can be triggered by her appearance and stages a ritual based on the text „The Ox and its Shepherd“, in which the Chan master Guoan Shiyuan describes the path of coming to oneself.
Presented in: Sprechwerk Hamburg, PAF Frankreich, Sommerwerft Festival Frankfurt am Main, Ada Studio Berlin and in several places in Brazil (Tour 2015 and 2017)
