AVANT-EN PREMIERE « NO/MAS/SACRE » – Aymara Parola + Lea Petra + Reinaldo Ribeiro

FR/EN

May 31th at 7pm at Théâtre 140

NO/MAS/SACRE is a piece that avoids Stravinksy chitchat and jumps straight into the heat of the action. Directed by Reinaldo Ribeiro in collaboration with dancer Aymará Parola and pianist Lea Petra, it claims the right to anger, virtuosity and « …excess, beautiful excess. A liberating excess, an excess that highlights the repression of a society  » (Angelica Liddell). The performance unfolds within the seemingly classic triangle of piano, pianist and dancer, only to subvert expectations through a dazzling ritual of the playful, the grotesque and the transgressive.
At its core, NO/MAS/SACRE is an exploration of existence at the limits of one’s own body, where movement and sound constantly renegotiate the norms and rules that govern their encounter. Fueled by today’s urgencies, these tensions emerge as a powerful source of affect and turbulence. This deep commitment underlines the importance of creating a piece like NO/MAS/SACRE, imbued with a decolonial, feminist and committed perspective.

Aymara studied traditional Argentine folkloric dance, ballet and contemporary dance. Since 2011 she has been performing with the company Ultima Vez/Wim Vandekeybus in different productions. She have collaborated with other artists such a Ayelen Parolin (2017), music maker Ariah Lester (2019), Alexander Vantournhout (2021), presenting the work in different festivals and venues.
