The day of the great party is almost upon us, and my dance isn’t ready, or dressed, or even wearing shoes. It is having fun with the beauty of the world, the love of the birds, and the radiating stones of its garden. Sometimes it seems to be in my hands, in my eyes… but all of a sudden it slips away to get distracted in its fascinating imagination, amazed by the labyrinths of colours and sounds. What now? What do I do? What do I dance? The performance draws inspiration from the tale Giraffes Can’t Dance, by Guy Parker-Rees and Giles Andreae, an expedition to meet that which enchants us to dance and we are yet to discover, and that is strangely different for everyone. — NÉ BARROS & JORGE GONÇALVES
