Frankenstein is a dance theater performance inspired by Mary Shelley's work of the same name. The GOMPA collective combines dance, theater, visual arts and an original soundtrack to reinvent the first work of science fiction in history. It tells the trajectory of a being generated from other beings as a metaphor for our Brazilian constitution. In this play, the creature is a woman who cannot and does not want to adapt to the desires of the man who created her, tracing a postcolonial perspective in the dancers' bodies.

 

Frankenstein proposes a reflection on our relationships of belonging, discussing in a poetic way issues linked to the condition of women in our society, as well as the violence they suffer, especially in Latin American countries. It traces relationships between the woman's body and our Amazon forest, which has been destroyed and historically subjected to the will of man. On stage, the dancers Fabiane Severo and Alexsander Vidaleti bring to life the voices of Sandra Dani and Elcio Rossini, directed by Camila Bauer, with texts written by the director alongside Pedro Bertoldi and Carina Corá. The sound design is composed by Álvaro RosaCosta. The scenery by visual artist Elcio Rossini, lighting by Ricardo Vivian and costumes by Renan Vilas make up the visual landscape of the show, which also features choreographic direction by Carlota Albuquerque.
