And if at the end of a show, the chorus of acclaim from the public, from euphoric applause and profuse shouts of “Bravo!”, promised not to be dissolved? And if the enthusiasm was such that the interpreters, thanking the public reaction to stay, after all, stuck on stage without it may leave no disrespect to the audience? And if so much insistence on the palms, the artists found themselves forced to be more explicit in thanks or making small encores , not so much to reward ovation, but as desperately to break a seemingly cycle endless? And if this act of love for those who occupy the stage became, after all, a violent action?
It is these questions that some Morceau of Bravoure , created show the Dog Theatre Company Single with his usual partner André Godinho, and with the participation of choreographer Rui Lopes Graça, for the National Ballet Company (BNC).
The answer will be on stage at the Teatro Camões, in Lisbon, Thursday until 22 November and it was long an idea that the theater company wanted to explore. Since, approximately ten years ago, finished a piece disappearing through “a very dense fog that then dissipated and was only a room,” explains Paula Sá Nogueira, founder of Dog Single, the convention of thanksgiving began to be questioned in the group . Long, in fact, that began to internally circulate the idea that there would come a day when one of his creations concentrate all thanks and raise the center of the show. That day arrived with the proposal of the artistic director of CNB, Luisa Taveira, to work with the body of ballet the house.
“This is your chance to come up with the idea “said André Godinho them. “For one, had access to a great cast; on the other, within the ballet classic there is a whole choreography of thanksgiving, a hierarchy, in which the dancers come thanks in character. “If one was relatively easy to identify the boot to Morceau of Bravoure , then dancers and actors were to ensnare it “attempt to put a final point on the situation but each period produces more palms and thus produces reluctance needing another period,” says Godinho .
A show that was once
Thus, there is a show that is built on the assumption that the show is over. And that therefore, to witness the clear exceeding of the time agreed to thanks before a prerecorded ovation, they drift into the absurdity of who we imagine is on stage dealing with the fatigue of the end of a piece and yearns for gathering .
In this context, we watch an actor who uses clichés like “it was not me who chose this profession, but this craft that chose me”, to then immediately haywire and recognize your debt towards Carl Sagan and Arthur C. Clarke (the world view) or Isabelinha (the first kiss), the more the eye doctor or the teacher of the Conservatory. And how, failing this purpose, does not silence the applause, still cast into the opening monologue Richard III by Shakespeare.
The text itself of Ricardo III is irrelevant. The choice has to do mainly with the selection of “a number of situations which are those that think that the viewer likes or feels good – are even morceaux of bravoure ,” explains Paula Sá Nogueira. This is because morceau of bravoure is an expression that refers to a special moment of virtuosity, audacity and genius that the audience usually rewards you with an outburst of applause. Ideas that the dog Single considered “primary and old” but that shape a popular taste and expectations about what defines a good dramatic performance or ballet. Are, all things considered, interpretations based on a spectacular something histrionic, “an exhibition logic of a skill, more than the communication of an idea,” says Sa Nogueira.
Vanity interpreters do, therefore also part of the equation. An equation naturally open. After hour and a half of provocation and theoretical hypothesis transformed into artistic proposal, also this show that part of an end of the show ends his presentation. And if at that time the chorus of acclaim from the public, from euphoric applause and profuse shouts of “Bravo!”, Bound not be dissolved?
