BOCA FALA TROPA
© Sofia Berberan

Based on a body at various tempos and on kuduro movements, Gio Lourenço builds a biographical itinerary in which the body becomes an allegory of memory. Kuduro appears in the 1990s, in Luanda, in the context of a civil war. The specific codes of this style of music/dance reached Portugal through the bodies and tapes of those moving between the two countries. In his teen years, in the late 1990s, when he was already living in Portugal, Gio got in touch with this universe and became a kuduro dancer, discovering a broken body—his own—where memory reinvents itself in the gesture. "BOCA FALA TROPA" puts forward an artistic territory displaced from a concrete geography—the transit between Angola and Portugal—, based on the steps and codes of kuduro, but crossing elements of personal memory and its inevitable fictions with elements of collective memory. — GIO LOURENÇO
