TANCAT ATTITUDE is a dance-theatre work for 4 dancers. The grotesque language is the mean aspect of this piece and here is used as the expressive starting point.
The piece is about 4 persons in a day of their lives, before the awakening, with their dreams or nightmares that anticipate the day.
The choreography describes their moods and how they get over that. In some moments the story is building from an unique tale, but there are antagonist and simultaneous tales too.
A simple journey can have several items. Many of them can seem similar between them, even identical. Can almost seem an inevitable conviction. Different persons that don't know each other, but share the same struggle, the resistance and looking for ways outs, but when they get it, they are scared anyway.
This piece is the result of the choreographer's necessity of building a new space of artistic experimentation, but taking care also of production process. That is how appear the fusion of different things, like dance, acrobatics, theatre and poetry.
