IL FAUX

Starting with the initial premise that a black body is by its very nature exposed to the danger of expropriation, or that of being stolen from itself, Calixto Neto tries to resist against exterior control and the risk of annihilation. In this exercise in ventriloquism, the Brazilian choreographer searches for the words with which to write dance. Placing himself between spoliation and fictionalization, he looks into words as a means of expression and into language as means of consolation, with no guarantee of managing to do so.
