CONQUEST adaptação de Teresa Silva a partir de um solo de Deborah Hay
“a fraction of a moment to draw from - like crossing the threshold into a walled city and travelling a wide avenue to its center. The conqueror’s introduction to the conquered. You are an army or a king, on foot or horseback. Flags, banners, people cheering and a blazing sun or an abandoned city with only remnants of its past intact.”
Deborah Hay in Conquest
Ao propor um novo olhar sobre a dança, Deborah Hay veio colocar em questão muitas das formas e fórmulas que tenho encontrado, de ver e fazer dança. E se sinto o desmoronar de paradigmas, o constante tirar do tapete e a perda que é catastrófica de hábitos, costumes, comportamentos e crenças, testo ao mesmo tempo, a minha vivacidade e a capacidade de sobreviver, ao encontrar neste corpo um infinitamente mais e mais e mais. Desafiantemente paradoxal, o trabalho da Deborah Hay faz-me aprender sobre leveza, imaginação, sensibilidade, desprendimento, escuta, dedicação, doçura, poesia e generosidade. Coisas talvez desconcertantemente simples e por isso tão preci(o)samente fundamentais.

CONQUEST Teresa Silva's adaptation after a Deboray Hay's solo
"a fraction of a moment to draw from - like crossing the threshold into a walled city and travelling a wide avenue to its center. The conqueror’s introduction to the conquered. You are an army or a king, on foot or horseback. Flags, banners, people cheering and a blazing sun or an abandoned city with only remnants of its past intact.”
Deborah Hay in Conquest
Proposing a new perspective on dance, Deborah Hay made me question about many of the forms and formulas of seeing and creating dance that I have come across. And while I feel the collapse of paradigms, the ground being swept away underfoot and the catastrophic loss of habits, behaviours and beliefs, at the same time I test my own vivacity and ability to survive by finding in this body infinite possibilities. Paradoxically challenging, surprising, playful and intelligently formulated, Deborah Hay’s work has taught me about lightness, imagination, sensitivity, detachment, listening, dedication, sweetness, poetry and generosity. Things that are perhaps disconcertingly simple and, therefore, so preciously fundamental.
