How can one dance over ruins, exhume violated archaeologies, in a communion of melancholy and nostalgia? A bleeding palimpsest, embroidered with nerves of resistance. As metamorphosis and fragile presence, a poetic hypokeímenon erupts at the core of phýsis: an evanescent eidos between becoming and immutability, a trembling kairós that stirs the Taciturna. The dance unfolds between thresholds — between being and non-being, desire and emptiness, life and death — transience as a beloved, shattered flesh revealing the beauty of chaos that never returns. The creation invokes the Mahavydias, goddesses of impure wisdom; Pessoa, in delirium, East to East of the East, Pessanha exhaling melancholy between linen sheets, Al Berto distilling fear, Celan invoking the Song of a Lady in the Shadow. — Hugo Calhim Cristóvão & Joana von Mayer Trindade
