"MAGNIFICENT and POLITICAL...An unclassifiable queer performance."
"The Sine Qua Non Art duo are never better than when they wield visual art and conceptual performance. Visually dreamlike, questioning both the madness of mankind and the ongoing ecological collapse, this immersive choreographic journey is the quintessence of their artistic universe."
"A complex dance that emphasizes human vulnerability and proposes solidarity between people as the only solution to the disintegration of society."
"A total work that embodies the contradictions of human beings, in their quest for an ideal that is both constructive and destructive... A must-see!"
"O FUTURO É ANCESTRAL" is an exhibition in motion, designed for unconventional spaces. Carrying the weight of concrete as a metaphor for our civilization and colonial past, emphasizing human vulnerability, the Shibari ritual aims for solidarity between peoples as the only solution to the disintegration of society.
A human, queer message, to lift our mountains again and again, to build and rebuild, the colossi with feet of clay, vulnerable but powerful, builders of tomorrow, to reinvent the bond, to show the strength of those who unite, all of us, the peoples of yesterday, today and tomorrow...
An ode to our world's need for deceleration and to humanity's slowness.
O FUTURO É ANCESTRAL is also a photographic project, the result of a month's research in Brazil, in the cities of Sao Paulo /Rio de Janeiro / Niteroi, particularly in relation to the architecture of Oscar Niemeyer, in the Edificio COPAN, at the MAC in Niteroi...
These prints are exhibited at the end of the performance (12 prints 100x140cm).
