BOCA COVA

Premiere presented in cooperation with Sophiensæle

Minimum age: 12 years

Duration 60 min

How can we be in the world and coexist in ways that are not rooted in extractivism and exploitation? Inspired by non-Eurocentric cosmologies on climate change and deriving from her experience of motherhood, Michelle Moura advocates for ways of relating that are built upon reciprocity. In an ecstatic ritual of circle dances, twirls, and songs, beings with fantastical bodies explore the potential for transformation. "BOCA COVA“ investigates the insatiability of our mouths, our bodies, and the unreal logics of capitalism – and attempts to re-direct this hunger towards the creation of a more sustainable relation with life.
