Puff
Puff
A special preview of Puff, by choreographer Alice Ripoll and performer
Hiltinho Fantástico. Disguise is an element present in dances of the
African diaspora meant to transmit silenced cultures. 'Puff' in Portuguese
can mean when something magically disappears. Hiltinho began dancing
Passinho, an urban dance style born in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. He
carries the ancestry of Brazilian dance, starting in Africa, moving
through samba and capoeira. The show explores techniques such as extremely
speedy steps and the dissociation of body parts, which promote illusion
effects, and suggest that something is being hidden from our eyes.
