In “Adorno”, the Portuguese word for “jewellery”, “ornament” or “decoration”, Alice Ripoll juxtaposes the age of algorithms with that which makes us most human: ornamental gestures, changeable moods, and spontaneous desires - the apparently trivial embellishments which we all use to construct our own lives. The Berlin premiere of Alice Ripoll’s performance also marks the opening of the new series wielding fissures - carving cracks in the surface of the now in Radialsystem.
On her search for connection in difference, the choreographer explores the question of how to conceptualise a “we”, when no two individuals in our population of 8 million people are identical. The audience is carried by a tempestuous group, moving forwards and backwards in waves like the course of history itself. Scenes unfurl in a dreamlike atmosphere, confronting us with what we think is unique: our memories, our bodies, our affections - our inner tides.
Embodied Practice with Hiltinho Fantástico and Katiany Correia
