VERISSIMILITUDE
Live performance, 60', contemporary - Choreographer
Multiple award-winning performance "Verissimilitude" (2004/2005), an ensemble piece about the territory of subjectivity and perception is a study of the extremes of human instinct. Inspired by Michel Foucault's essay The Four Similitudes, Verissimilitude deciphers subconscious symbols and the fabric of the human condition.
The production toured Brazil and Europe (Hebbel am Ufer Berlin and Riverside Studios London).
“The result is an almost Lynchian sense of foreboding...”
“Anglo-Brazilian physical theatre choreographed by Fernanda Lippi - angry, intense and explicit, but compelling”
“A piece of exemplary choreography, dripping with sociological comment and performed with astounding fluidity and expertise.”
“The performance is bleak, interior, but gradually its visceral truths pulled me in. In an interesting reversal of typical roles, the men are not the women’s domineering persecutors but, rather, possible saviours who are themselves in need of healing”
