Angela Guerreiro is in Permanent Prints in humoresque and light way playing with clichés and prejudices concerning how our bodies are inscribed in contemporary society. In a duet and two solos the dualities between body and mind, nature and culture, biology and discourse is being questioned through the dancing body.
The four dancers are examining their particular heritage to conceive a critical image of how our bodies in different manners are defined by the environment.
The choreography is through three different points of departure examining the concepts for creating and erasing ethnic and sexual identities. Identities that are in-excluded by conventionalized frameworks, and therefor has to be understood as a multiplicity, constantly changing.
Permanent Prints is a full length dance piece in three parts that are turning the gaze inside out and opening our eyes to each and everybody’s differences, letting us be proud of them.
