De repente fica tudo preto de gente

SUDDENLY EVERYWHERE IS BLACK WITH PEOPLE
BLOOD BROTHERS SHARE THE STAGE
In the middle of the darkness, standing in a ring of cold light, the audience is on the alert. At any moment it must react to the unpredictable movements of five naked bodies smeared with a black substance. Primeval humans freshly secreted from the bowels of the earth, a swarming magma of flesh hungry for love and contact. A cannonball dispersing the crowd, seeking collision. The ground shakes under the weight of their tribal dance. Their candid gaze pierces the last bastions capable of protecting the spectator from a plunge into the unknown and his fear of the Other.

An emblematic figure of the contemporary Brazilian arts scene, Marcelo Evelin pulverizes the fourth wall and makes the body a hyphen between “I” and “us” in Suddenly Everywhere is Black with People. Teeming with life, it takes shape by sharing space. A unique and troubling sensory experience.
