Heitor deals with the weight of images in the lives of individuals, through the development of a dance of physical wear and repetition. A scenario is constituted by projections of pornographic images of gay sex, which modify and interact spatially according to the movements of the performer, creating an environment that is at the same time oppressive and attractive. The solo also carries a strong reflection on the experience of the homosexual youth in the 21st century, through questions about affection, loneliness, and stigmatization of the identity by sex and sexual practice.
In this solo, image projections are controlled by the performer position, using a MS Kinect v2 sensor.
3 catastrophes on pleasure presents four dance/performance solos crossed by technical and technological relations, challenged to approach pleasure in some cut of its scope. Each of the solos, which unify themselves only by the thematic clipping and by the relational discussion on technology and performing arts, highlights the small catastrophes and accidents which sum up through the search for pleasure, as well the permanence in its state – never full – and the fall that proceeds the euphoria. Thus, by putting technology on the scene as a way to exchange affections about pleasure, which always negotiates the body as its structure and construct, the performers question what boosts us through materiality and virtuality.
