What is ignited by a fuse woven out of a James Brown song, Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, Gustavia (2008), the burlesque duo of La Ribot and Mathilde Monnier, and the words of Tiago Rodrigues? The answer is Please please please (2019), a show that joins the Spanish-Swiss and the French choreographers with the Portuguese stage director in a reflection on the normative power’s opposition to minority bodies and their resistance(s) to it. For the three of them, metamorphosis is the most efficient response to domination, and dance the means to achieve it. On the stage, the two choreographer-dancers bring to life a gallery of characters confronted by authority and catastrophe who inhabit a set of absurd, fantastical and dystopian brief tales by Tiago Rodrigues. These two women speak to their children, in a dialogue about the world to come. Now discursive, now performative in tone, Please please please is an urgent appeal to future generations.
