NICOLE BEUTLER PROJECTS supports Flavia Pinheiro productionally and artistically for the creation of The Unborn.
In The Unborn, the audience is transported to a mysterious realm of enchantment, a liminal space. An absent presence is summoned, and unsettling spirits defy gravity, floating through the darkness with somersaults.
Moving between ritual and choreography, this dance solo invites reflection on the vulnerability and resilience of life, the mysterious world of spirits, and the eternal desire to live on. The dance embodies a sense of magical movement that can hear and communicate with spirits. It is a movement that can be seen with closed eyes, revealing a clairvoyant perspective. In her artistic practice, Brazilian choreographer and performer Pinheiro creates imaginative exchanges with non-human beings such as bacteria, plants, birds, antelopes, and spirits.
