Archaic Matrix of the Sublimation of a Body is a dance piece for seven performers and a musician about the individual's quest to get to know and transcend. How does this need reflect on the social and global level?
 
Defending the need to seek a revolution based on a revelation of who we are and how we want to co-create, the choreographer explores on stage a strong physicality in the relationship between voice and movement, in a hybrid language, in which the body assumes itself as a vehicle of energy that shapes space and produces a set of linked experiences, based on an alchemical process.
 
In this piece, Pedro Ramos focuses on the experience of verticality, seeking to counter the occurrence of the mysteries present in birth, life and death on the same plane.

​

This show was performed at Teatro Averense and Teatro Viriato. Layla Bucaretchi as invated performer in this work.
