Polje de Mira-Minde
Sofia Dias and Vítor Roriz develop a choreographic language that includes text and voice, creating shows, performances, podcasts, and installations. For An animistic conspiracy, the duo composes a sound and choreographic piece for headphones that simultaneously guides two groups of audience members through the forest, in a kind of pas de deux, a surrealist ritual, between instructions and reveries. A personal meditation and collective experience that questions our relationship to our surroundings. Created in the context of “Shared Landscapes”.
Duo of artists/choreographers who have been collaborating since 2006. Their hybrid and experimental research has resulted in shows, performances, videos, podcasts, and installations, crossing different artistic fields. Their shows, linked to words and voice, have been presented in more than 17 countries. In 2011, they received the Prix Jardin d’Europe for Um gesto que não passa de uma ameaça (A gesture that is nothing more than a threat). They have collaborated with Marco Martins, Clara Andermatt, Mark Tompkins, Felipe Hirsch, Tiago Rodrigues, and visual artists such as Catarina Dias and Francisco Tropa. They teach, organize residencies and research groups, and curated PACAP 2 and 6.
