Hysteria and a melancholic fiesta in Marco da Silva Ferreira’s parade of curiosities! From the apparent calmness comes a revolution, from the beast comes a caress. “Bisonte” blurs the boundaries of gender, fusing tribal culture with the vibrancy of club culture and intertwining contemporary dance with folk, social, and hip-hop elements. The Portuguese choreographer, who has won the recognition of audiences worldwide, poses profound questions: Are we prepared to expose our intimacy and shatter the constraints of heteronormativity? How can we express our identity when we still know so little about ourselves?
