‘Brazilian baroque’ is how Lia Rodrigues - dubbed ‘choreographer of the year’ three years ago by the professional journal Tanz - describes her creation Fúria. Eleven dancers form a colourful collective that constantly mutates. Kaleidoscopic scenes of dominance and submission, exuberance and stillness, pain and joy follow on from one another at a delirious pace. Is this a procession, a carnival parade or a protest march? Fúria is not only a virtuoso assault on both eyes and ears, but also a powerful political statement. The performance was created during the Brazilian presidential elections in 2019, when the far-right Brazilian president Bolsonaro came to power. As opposed to the widespread fury (‘fúria’) Lia Rodrigues radically plays the fantasy card. As the creator of the arts centre Centro Arte da Maré, in one of Rio’s largest favelas, the choreographer is uniquely placed to understand how liberating the imagination can be.
