Jetuilnousvousils (2011) by Guilherme Bothelo, Cie Alias

Unity engenders community.  By virtue of a forest of arms, Guilherme Botelho explores the notion of collectiveness that governs the life of termites, but which is absent from the preoccupations of man.  This second episode of his Distância trilogy confirms the clear existential turn his work has taken.  One is even tempted to say essentialist turn, given the conviction pegged to his heart that nothing is lost, nothing is created, but everything is transformed. Such, then, is the intent of this choreography whose title spells out its theme: Iyouhesheitweyouthey. (Cie Alias)
