TrocA O PASSO

Ana Rita Teodoro + João dos Santos Martins

Amarante Forest Park

The expression "troca o passo" is used to indicate the second part of a date without a defined year (...one thousand six hundred and troca o passo). The expression can also be used literally and mean to switch feet, to align or misalign one's step with another person.

After Trolaró, Troca o Passo is the second duet that Ana Rita Teodoro and João dos Santos Martins have developed as a pretext for researching and reinventing themselves as artist-dancers, free from the idea of a specific project.

Walking is the present trace of a story that has already begun, the blossoming and fading of a form in progress. Is it possible to move forward while maintaining a relationship with the black holes of history? The elliptical curves of the world suck us into archaeological records. We advance and retreat, we adjust our pace and are late, we run and are ahead, we stop but continue to go. A walking duet with butoh.
