C- Ant nose are the zyrgums?

 
Two figures speak in a language that belongs only to them, in a space-time that eludes us. They mix and interweave remnants of words and reminiscences of English and move forward in their conversation according to established terms of dialogue. We recognize attitudes, words, intonations, but the understanding is constantly blurred.
They use their hands to connect, to dialogue, to create meaning: these are hand-objects, hand-masks, hand-prostheses that awaken and sculpt the imagination on their way. The languor and the delicacy of this pantomimic gesture encourage the appearance of the fantastic.
In a dadaist impetus, Stand still you ever-moving spheres of heaven unrolls a long white linoleum, minimalist microcosm of imagination in motion. Visual and sound poem charged with surreal spurts, the piece brings into play the possibilities of imagination.

Dancer, performer and choreographer, Henrique Furtado Vieira lives and works between Portugal and France. Engineer in Energy and Environment, he follows his artistic training in several French institutions (INSA Lyon, Extensions – CDC Toulouse, Prototype II and Dialogues III – Royaumont abbey). He collaborates as an interpreter with different artists such as Bleuène Madelaine, Eric Languet, Aurélien Richard, Céline Cartillier, Tino Sehgal and Vera Mantero. In addition, he is influenced throughout his route by several encounters with Sophie Perez and Xavier Boussiron, among others. He is currently working with Aloun Marchal and Chiara Taviani in the creation of performances where styles and genres overlap, and where vocal presence and imagination have a prominent place.
