Suspensão (Suspension)

2016

“Suspensão” is an enigmatic performance of an experimental nature that brings together Clara Andermatt and two composers, Jonas Runa and António Sá-Dantas, for a co-creation and a joint interpretation in different artistic fields. Light-sensitive sensors distributed throughout the stage are activated by the interference of the body, creating sound that is modulated by the movement of the interpreters, in a game of shadows and light that proposes new interactions between sound and movement.

 

A Banda - Dança para Músicos (The Band - Dance for Musicians)

2016

Invited by Festival Materiais Diversos, Clara Andermatt and João Lucas once again intersect and deepen the relation between music and movement. “A Banda” is a piece with choreographic and musical composition for Philharmonic Bands, where the musicians are the sole interpreters.

VOID

2009

Ten years after “Dan Dau”, the work that crowns an intense period of creativity inspired on Clara Andermatt’s relationship with Cape Verdean culture, the choreographer resumes, in 2009, that relationship, creating “VOID”, a collaboration with two interpreters from past works. A year later, Andermatt brings to the performance yet another element of that shared past - the percussionist Kabum - and names it “VOID Elétrico”, a piece to be played outdoors, with a renewed organic structure.

In my Mind

2007

Two bodies, two electric guitars. A concert-performance conceived and interpreted by Clara Andermatt and Vítor Rua, that tells a story of electrifying encounters and confrontations, in the voluptuous union between movement and sound.

Dan Dau

1999

Giving continuity to the cultural and artistic exchange between Portugal and Cape Verde, initiated in 1994, and enhanced by the success and the dynamics generated by “Uma História da Dúvida”, Clara Andermatt and João Lucas co-created, with the interpreters of the company, “Dan Dau” (that means “I give you, you give me”), a staged concert and an album, launched simultaneously.
