Common Dreams
Common Dreams happens between seeing and not seeing, in the encounter of Ana Rita Teodoro with Joana Gomes. Two dancers dedicated to tactile communication unfold in singular dances, full of detail. Based on the idea that dance has something similar to a dream, they produce movements and sensations difficult to capture in image and translate into words. Common Dreams proposes to remove the visual — as proof of the real — from the hierarchy of senses and create a poetic musical plot, accessible to the reverie of dreams and dances.
Do you remember your dreams? Have you ever known within a dream that you were dreaming? Can a dream solve problems? Can we communicate with animals or ancestors in a dream? Can a dream see the future? Can we dream the same dream?
