Meta-Roda. The Body as a Garden is a performance inspired by capoeira and ritual chants. As a ‘ballet’, different individuals dance and play inside an imaginary garden woven from fabric, slowly turning themselves into a collective moving organism. Invoking Lygia Pape’s practice of creating organic group performances, the audience is invited under the round cloth and into the garden, to experience different sets of body and sound practices from within and without. There, under the skin of earth, bodies become a landscape, part of an ecosystem. Introducing the idea of the body as an instrument, a body percussion workshop led by Araiké da Silva, the son of a capoeira master takes place prior to the performance, on 7 June. The participants of the workshop can take part in the performance.
