With artistic direction by Clara Andermatt, “MUDA” is a reflection on the multifaceted nature of the human condition and explores performative work in correlation with the aesthetics of silent cinema. Humor intertwines with tragedy, fantasy with reality, and violence with love. The mute extension of things reveals a complex world that challenges us, like balancing act on a knife’s edge, to transcend the paradoxes of humanity and find the point of convergence that leads us to the discovery of beauty.
“MUDA” embraces innovation and diversity, firstly through the dynamics of its creative process focused on research, experimentation and sharing different perspectives from a technical, disciplinary and methodological point of view. By involving performers from various geographic origins and artistic affiliations, the project celebrates the diversity of knowledge, cultures and practices, enriching the experience, sensitivity and knowledge of the artists involved.
This project continues a history of collaboration and complicity between the National Institute of Circus Arts and Companhia Clara Andermatt. The creator was invited in 2019 and 2020 by INAC to teach an “Artistic Creation Laboratory”, an intense and productive work that still reverberates in the memories of the participants. In addition, there is the artistic relationship between Andermatt and Bruno Machado, current director of INAC, who had already participated as a performer in the play “Novo-Velho-Circo”, from 2015.
MUDA is a reflection on the multifaceted nature of the human condition. It does so through circus art, opening doors to fantasy and illusion. Humor intertwines with tragedy, fantasy with reality, and violence with love. The mute extension of things reveals a complex world, which like balancing on a knife’s edge, we are challenged to transcend, finding the point of convergence that leads us to the discovery of beauty.
