Bloom
Performance/Installation
30 Minutes
Unconventional places
by Luiza Adjuto
A dance/installation performance inspired by Ailton Krenak’s ancestral vision of nature — where no line divides city and forest, body and earth. Bloom grows from dreams that blur into movement, from distorted bodies and fragments of flight, turning a slow awakening into a shared consciousness, a gesture to reforest the future from within
A circus, dance, and scenography project, Bloom explores different ways to express itself, using aerial circus techniques, levitation, performance, and scenography.
In creation, Bloom seeks to research and engage with the local community, exploring the ecological and cultural issues of the areas and searching for new influences, inspirations, and ideas for the project.
