One of Portugal's foremost choreographers, Rui Horta was founder director of S.O.A.P Dance Theatre for which he created six acclaimed works, many of which were performed at The Place. Now Horta makes his Dance Umbrella debut with Talk Show, exploring the dynamics of relationships over time and the body as a communication tool.
This engrossing work is performed by two couples; one older, one young. Their movement is at once intimate and tender, then fast, frenetic and discordant. A gripping exchange ensues between the animated choreography, urgent commentary and live filming which is both captivating and revealing. Talk Show is an emotionally intense glimpse into the private and passionate world of lovers.
"The proposal is risky… the result is well attained... a very interesting multimedia concept." Pu´blico (Portugal)
