“Icó: To be, to be, to live” (Tupi-Guarani Dictionary)
The transit between the three cultures made the tension between past and present shift through the eyes and the work of memory; continuity and rupture; ways of connecting and disconnecting; life, “trials on blindness” and death. In this work, immersing yourself in the fabric of memory, revealed the complicity of a reference group in lost or buried experiences and a quest to perceive themselves rooted and eternally foreign and nomadic. Unsettling strangeness, presence / absence, in endless DIY. Here, the act of living resembles the ritual, and dancing is more linked to the role of performance, while re-installation of another worldview, in constant transit through different languages that cross the scenic field to the audiovisual. Body, presence-absence, different cultures, languages, worldviews, bodies in movement (re) adapting at all times, trail and memory, are some of the themes that use ICÓ's concept.
