NX FUIMO
TAMARA ALEGRE WITH ELIE AUTIN, MARGA ALFEIRÃO & CUBA
2022
NX FUIMO is a choreographic spell, a trajectory, a journey through thresholds of alienation, intensity, connection and resistance.
is the second piece of a triptych initiated with FIEBRE (2018), which experiments with embodimen practices around the sexual organs, the idea of erotic union, the cohabitation of complex emotions and self-pleasure.
in slang nos fuimos is an expression which announces that the departure has already started or that we have gone beyond. here, it is the result of a radical fictionalisation of bodies. imagine: one and the same channel connects all the vital functions related to the lower abdomen and the cloaca, the sexual organ from which the erotic force is drawn. provided with these body-fictions, the dances are embodied in individuality and meet synchrony in the group and become a purge, cleansing and space for mutual support.
NX FUIMO opens a liminal space-time where connection and contamination triumphs through vibrations, wind and emotions.
the work has a strong inspiration and connection to Dancehall and aims to make different types of connections/exchanges with that dance-scene/culture.
the choreographer stays open for any kind of discussion around this topic and cultural appropriation.
NX FUIMO is a production by Tamara Alegre and FUEGO CONTIGO in coproduction with Arsenic Lausanne and MDT Stockholm
