Dancer and choreographer Marlene Monteiro Freitas is considered among the most talented and promising artists of her generation. Her creations are striking and hallucinatory, astonishing by their inventiveness and absolutely dazzling. « Ludicrous ball » of mechanical puppets and stone statues that come to life with a strident and percussive music on the background. De Marfim e carn (From ivory and flesh) demonstrates a very personal universe full of references that rush by at a top speed. A must-see!
