This powerful dramatic meditation draws its strength from paranoia and the mystery of identity, as well as from diving into the unstable environment of an increasingly volatile social milieu. No viewer will be granted any entry without agreeing to be filmed for a TV broadcast. But doubts emerge. Real or not real ? It is time to explore this new territory born out of the confrontation between theatrical gesture and audience response.

In this piece, the choreographer Marcelo Evelin, from the north-east region of Brazil, invites us to set foot inside a metaphorical forest and its ecological condition. Through minimalist dance, and guided by the call of the legendary Uirapuru, a rare and endangered bird, six performers embody the promise of discovering what is and what still eludes our senses.
