Pink Portal

Category : dance, video
Date : July 15, 2022

In the spring of 2022, prior to the creation of PINK PORTAL, choreographer Cecilia Moisio conducted the research in the forms of laboratories and interviews with women of different ages and backgrounds. During the laboratories, the participants tried different theatrical exercises and talked about their experiences, stories and ideas about their bodies and sexuality.

 

Together with playwright Eva Maria de Wit, Cecilia interviewed each woman individually in order to get a deeper insight into their experience. These conversations and real stories have become the inspiration and the the basis for the performance: a political statement about how the female body is viewed in 2022.

The film footage of this process has resulted in a documentary about the creation. On the 6th July – the day of the try out – the documentary has was shown for the first time. It will be presented at the premiere at Julidans, as well as with every performance during the tour of PINK PORTAL next season 2022-2023.

Review in Le Devoir

“L’amour tout cru

Du côté des longs métrages, la maestria revient toutefois aux artistes étrangers comme Isabel Rocamora et Mor Shani/Paul Sixta, qui abordent les sujets omniprésents de cette édition : le vieillissement et l’amour. Love-ism, du chorégraphe Mor Shani et du cinéaste Paul Sixta, s’est notamment démarqué aux premiers jours du festival. Le film décline tous les visages de l’amour au quotidien, toujours avec la simplicité poignante des gestes universels, d’une désarmante authenticité. Des ateliers menés avec des non-danseurs locaux viennent ajouter une touche actualisée à chaque présentation dans une nouvelle ville.

Le cri défiant et joyeux d’une enfant se querellant avec son père lance le bal. Gros plans sur les grimaces échangées, les regards intenses et rieurs, câlins camouflés en duels. Infatigable corps à corps pour un amour inconditionnel. Viendront ensuite les figures du couple — hétéro et homo, jeune et vieillissant, heureux et souffrant —, de l’amitié, de la filiation fraternelle ou maternelle, avec les étreintes, les regards et les petites danses du quotidien qui leur sont propres. Tout se déroule sur fond blanc, lumière crue sur les peaux émaciées, sans fard ni mensonges. D’un hyperréalisme poignant.”

“De dans en de film in Love-ism zijn dichtbij en intiem zonder voyeuristisch te worden; Shani en Sixta zetten een pure en eerlijke blik op de liefde neer.” – Patricia van der Linden
