Antes (2014) by Guilherme Bothelo, Cie Alias
With Antes, Guilherme Botelho completes his Distância trilogy, a reflection on the history of humanity, as well as on individual and collective destinies. Pushing anatomy to the point of abstraction, we are made aware that we rarely look at a body in such a manner, and that the trade of the choreographer lies precisely therein: revealing the unfamiliar behind the well-known, presenting the envelope of flesh as a territory, nudity as an experience, and unveiling the possibility of knowledge.
