Cristina Moura
Like an Idiot
«A duet with myself» is how the Brazilian choreographer and dancer Cristina Moura describes her charming and provocative solo «Like an Idiot». The third partner is the audience. «I am here to dance. You are here to watch me.» Vulnerable and almost naked she steps into the limelight and exposes herself to the eyes of strangers and to her own questions. Prompted by various impulses – a movement, a melody, a subjective emotion or a concrete object such as a children’s bicycle or a bottle of water – she tries to discover for herself her identity as a woman, an artist and a black Brazilian. Moura created this «choreographic self assessment» upon her return to Brazil from Europe where she had danced with renowned artists and companies such as João Fiadero and Ballets C. de la B. (esc)
