ÂO
Contemporary Theater / Performative Arts
2024
ÂO is a nasal diphthong specific to Portuguese and now becomes a performance, featuring choreographer Ana Rita Teodoro, musician João Neves and artist André e. Teodósio. Together they create a sonic and sensorial experience. Tripping on the sound of a diphthong that doesn’t trip off the tongue for non-native speakers.
They intone sounds, words, and melodies of original compositions, implicating tongue, lungs, skeleton, objects, images, feelings, and surroundings, becoming a choreographic, musical, and in a certain way, an ethnographic performance.
