INSTÁVEL

Centro Coreográfico

 

Fundada em 1999 por Ana Figueira, ao longo de cerca de 10 anos a Instável deu-se a conhecer através dos projetos de Companhia: em cada ano, um coreógrafo conceituado seleciona bailarinos em audição e cria uma nova peça em residência, para depois estrear e circular tanto quanto possível. Com a mudança para o Teatro do Campo Alegre, em 2011, a Instável amplia e consolida o seu trabalho, dando início ao seu caráter de Centro Coreográfico.

URNA
de Joana Couto

Como é que se desconstrói o indivíduo informado cultural e socialmente, depois de entrar no loop das suas próprias cegas convicções? Urna é a oportunidade não aproveitada, perdida para sempre num não-tempo longínquo. É a perda de perguntas significativas e a obsessão por respostas tranquilizadoras e efémeras. Urna é o que sobra depois da curiosidade, que se torna opressão, que cede lugar ao cacófonico redundante, que por sua vez cede o lugar ao absurdo, que cede o lugar ao vazio, que cede o lugar a novas possibilidades, que geram outras curiosidades. E assim por diante para sempre. O que sobra é um loop; movimentos, palavras, símbolos esvaziados de significado, repetem-se até ao ridículo para podermos refletir acerca da urgência de reduzir (ou elevar?) o ser humano à besta rendida.

Lowlands / Helder Seabra

TAKE / New Creation by São Castro and António M Cabrita for Companhia Instável

When we think of sound, the first image is that of invisible waves traveling through the air, captured by our ears and interpreted by our brains. But beyond its auditory dimension, sound has weight, movement and strength. Sound has a story in itself and the body incessantly searches for a story.

Rubble King / Duarte Valadares

Rubble King introduces a short attention span, an investigative creature of the archetype. An entity in a sandbox, a place of unlimited information, an excessively productive circuit looking for archetypes to feed on. Various states through shifting attention and dodging the conclusion, a rational ridicule.
