Experiencing Interruptions?

Gap

"Brecha" is a portuguese word that indicates a gap, an empty space, an opportunity, and imprints the team's desire: to open space to sensitize and deconstruct the existence of a single and fixed masculinity. The work is inspired by feminism ideas and has a cast of performers-creators composed only by men. The videodance seeks to reframe the brick (an object normally manipulated exclusively by men on construction sites) and the act of building by exploring the relationships that can be established between the object and the concept of masculinity.
