​

From November 7th to 15th, 2021, Companhia Perversos Polimorfos circulates its new work “Like Me”, with 15 presentations in open areas close to four partner spaces: in the square next to the Casa de Cultura de Parelheiros / Casa Di Fatel, in the extreme south of the capital (the 7th, at three times – 11 am, 2 pm and 4 pm); at the entrance to the Oswald de Andrade Cultural Workshop, in Bom Retiro (8th and 9th, at 12:00 and 15:00); in the lower areas of Praça Ramos de Azevedo, where the Dance Reference Center is located (11 and 12, at 1 pm and 4 pm), central region; and in the square adjacent to the Canhoba Artistic Occupation, in Perus, North limit (14th and 15th, at 10:00 and 13:00).

The performance seeks to discuss the use of technological resources for the development of the scene and how these means can multiply a presentation, reaching different audiences at different times and places. “The idea of ​​the work arose from the desire to find ways to bring the audience closer and insert them in the construction of the show, in its choreography in real time, as a way of sharing with those who watch the experience of being on stage and the genuine pleasure of dancing. ”, points out Ricardo Gali, director of the company.

During the presentations, video dances of the audience's spontaneous interaction with the cast are produced - Danielli Mendes, Daniela Moraes, Layla Bucaretchi, Flora Barros, Rafaela Sahyoun and Jean Valber, in addition to Anderson Gouveia and Manoella Brunelli, who alternate as the seventh member for this performance. Afterwards, the videos are made available on the instagram platform and hashed to enhance their identification.
