Summary
The article reviews Lia Rodrigues' final chapter of her dance trilogy, "Borda," which premiered in Brazil amid the violent aftermath of a massive police operation in Rio de Janeiro that left 122 dead. The trilogy (Fúria, Encantado, Borda) contrasts Brazil's relentless necropolitics and barbarism with the strength and celebration of collective life. The piece explores the question of dancing when everything hurts too much, with the answer being that celebration persists because life is hard.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledA gente celebra porque a vida é dura.
um sucesso (declarou o governador Cláudio Castro)
talvez a mais violenta da história do Rio de Janeiro (122 corpos, segundo dados oficiais)
Borda encerra uma trilogia que contrapõe à barbárie ininterrupta das necropolíticas do Brasil a força e a festa do colectivo. Dançar quando tudo dói demais? “A gente celebra porque a vida é dura.”
