Campo Alegre premieres new routine by Ligia Lewis

The national première of the new routine by choreographer Ligia Lewis takes place at Porto Municipal Theatre - Campo Alegre, on 29 April, at 5 pm.

"Minor matter", which was awarded the "Bessie Award" (2017) for excellence in production, features the part of a triptych (blue, red, white) for three dancers by the Dominican-American choreographer and dancer Ligia Lewis. The red colour embodies feelings of love and anger.

Two discursive mechanisms are in play: blackness and black box.

The dance routines present the performers on stage forcing the limits of their bodies whilst featuring a humble relation between body and space to tackle the theme of black.

The approach in "minor matter" is the correlation between theatre aspects, namely light, image and architecture.
