HOLLOW

HUECO (Hollow) is a contemporary dance solo that explores the notion of identity, place and time, through the concept of journeying and through the interaction between movement and live music.

HUECO explores in real time the diverse dynamics and challenges of being present to oneself and to others. It’s in this ‘in-between’, liminal space that the true possibilities of being are first sensed, then lived in and through the body. This is a dancing body in which the traces of a Brazilian past overlap and intertwine with the present moment forging a way into a dynamic movement filled future. This is a space of perpetual motion and change.

At the heart of the work is a journey to find and know this space - a vertiginous void into which the dancer can throw herself and into which her dancing self provides a new grounded and living sense of self. The ‘Hollow’ of the title refers to this constant desire to open up a space for dance as an affirmation of being in the world in the here and now.
