Decomposição #2
is a revisited version of Decomposição a creation first premiered on November 2009. Decomposition is an hybrid performatic creation where the universes of the performance, video and music are intertwined. It had as a inicial guideline the poetics, transgressive and marginal universe of Jean Genet, particulary through “Our Lady of Flowers” and “the Journal of a Thief”, combined with analysis of Jean-Paul Sartre ("Saint Genet - Comedien et Martyr") on the forbidden, transgression, loneliness and associability, perversity and "sanctity". In the beginning was Genet and was a whole search in a downward direction but an attempt to reach elevation, ascent... it was to consume and to be totally consumed, to burst and disappear on that too much... that could be poetically beautiful, painful but a way for emptiness that would allow levitation... but it failed ...with all my sorrow, I will have missed the courage to blow me up, to hit the bottom and take the rebound,.. without waiting for the rebound, without even knowing if there would be a rebound ... and on it, without any premeditation or hope, allow that the wings would grow me and accept them ... but I guess I missed the discipline and courage to allow that fall. Premiered 14th October 2011 Uferstudios, Berlin, Germany |

(…) Durch die Mischung minimaler Ausstattungselemente entstehen beeindruckende lebende Bilder: So inszeniert die Portugiesin Helena Botto in ihrem Stück "Descomposiçao" ("Verwesung") mit trockenen violetten Blütenblättern, Cellophan, unterschiedlichen Stoffen und Kleidern und besonders ihrem eigenen körperlichen und mimischen Ausdruck einen Reigen aus Trauer, Einsamkeit und ganz morbider Leidenschaft, an deren Ende ein lustvoller Totentanz steht: Helena Botto: "Vielleicht geht es auch um eine innere Leere, es gibt hier leere Körper, Kleider ohne Körper, es fehlt etwas, etwas ist verloren gegangen."
