Natural (recreation)

2019

For the celebration of the Company of Elders 30th anniversary, the Sadler's Wells Theatre, in London, invited Clara Andermatt to recreate “Natural” (from the 2005 original piece), one of the most emblematic pieces of this company.

Natural

2005

The Company of Elders is a group of twenty non-professional dancers who integrate the over-60s programme at the Sadler’s Wells, in London. Clara Andermatt was invited to create a new choreography for the Company of Elders, and “Natural” is the result of this challenge. The piece, for sixteen interpreters, is about the ageing process, and departs from the experience of each one of them in that specific phase of their lives.

 

Anomalias Magnéticas (Magnetic Anomalies)

1995

“Anomalias Magnéticas” was created in the aftermath of a pedagogic process developed in Cape Verde by Clara Andermatt, called “CV Sabe”. In “Anomalias Magnéticas”, the choreographer continues her artistic quest into the nature of power and knowledge and examines the opposing forces that inhabit each and every human being. The music is signed by the Cape Verdean composer and musician Vasco Martins, and the piece is interpreted by Amélia Bentes, Mónica Lapa, Félix Lozano, José Silva and the choreographer herself.
