Eine kollektive Frühstücksaktion
With Ametonyo Silva
Audience and performers come together for an everyday ritual: the breakfast. Brazilian choreographer Ametonyo Silva invites everyone to the table; in his choreographic research practice »a s s o m b r a ç ã o,« ↗ he explores the community surrounding the theater. His themes: the body, memory, and the re-enchantment of everyday life. In this collective breakfast event, people gather to enchant the table and part ways with full bellies—bucho cheio, as they say in northeastern Brazil.
Ametonyo Silva is a choreographer and dancer born in Paraíba, Northeast of Brazil. In São Paulo, where he followed his studies in mise en scène at the University of São Paulo, he was constantly moving through collective practices at the crossroads of dance, theater and transmission. Based in France since 2022, Ametonyo pursued the choreography master’s program - exerce - at CCN Occitanie à Montpellier (2022-2024). His work engages with experiences of displacement and migration through a choreographic research — a s s o m b r a m e n t o s — which unfolds territories of shared abundance. It involves interdisciplinary practices to haunt memory towards a quotidian re-enchantment of life through the body.
