The new creation by Victor Hugo Pontes premieres in 2024, in the autumn of a year that will be spent by many looking back at fifty years of the history of a free country, at the same time that we will look forward, trying to glimpse the path to follow to preserve this greater freedom. Victor Hugo Pontes wants to occupy this gutter, and he will project his new show in this blank space. We begin by isolating a verse of a song, like someone isolating, in the laboratory, an essential particle to illuminate the complexity of the whole: we delve into José Mário Branco’s “Inquietação” and, when we return to the surface, all our senses were alert, in a state of full attention, of absolute freedom. So we decided to go that way. In Há Qualquer Coisa Prestes a Acontecer, the body will be the great sign on stage – a collective physical mass, which will forge a vigorous choral piece, composed of naked bodies and primordial, plastic images. There will be no immediate allusions to a political, ideological, or environmental state of affairs. There will be no slogans or warning shouts. Yes, there will be a confrontation in an imminent time. From the danger out there (in the world) to the barriers inside (in our heads), we continually see new things and reconfigure our understanding of what surrounds us and the place we occupy. In the body of the performers, we will discover what moves us, what scares us, what threatens us, what transforms us, what conditions us, and what frees us. In Há Qualquer Coisa Prestes a Acontecer, Victor Hugo Pontes will work with nudity as the opposite of the instinctive and the primary: in the corps de ballet naked on stage, we will find the most rational sense of the human, the most forged, the most virtuous and, therefore, even the freest.
