Looking at some “creation myths” different versions many cultures have for the beginning of everything we can find references of a time when humanity, animals, plants, things, space, time, future, past used to be together. We can find narratives about fantastic creatures that were at once male and female, old and young, human and serpent, and horse, and plant. Within not always peaceful relations, we can learn about heterogeneous encounters and hybrid anatomies, acknowledging a complex capacity of cooperation, engaged with the challenges of an inter connected existence.
Between choreography and collage, moving through association and disassociation, coupling and uncoupling, RUN FAST, BITE HARD reimagines some gestures and practices of care, to encompass more expansive or promiscuous models for living and dying together in this world.

Artist

Elisabete Finger

Elisabete Finger is a Brazilian Choreographer, she studied dance and choreography in various places, as the Essais Program at CNDC d’Angers (FR) and the MA SODA (UdK/HZT Berlin). Her creations investigate the anatomy of bodies and things, exposing textures, densities, forms, and fluids in situations that explore the borders between delight and disturbance. Historical or mythological figures blend with organic and artificial materials, generating hybrid bodies and timeless archetypes challenging narratives and expectations around gender, behaviour and normativity.
