Por Baixo de Mão (2021)

© André Delhaye

Taking the visual oeuvre of Louise Bourgeois shown at the Serralves Museum as her starting point, along with possible intersections with the choreographer’s creative universe, Tânia Carvalho created the piece ‘Por Baixo de Mão’ [Under hand] and the poem-text:

 

I have a ghost within who sees me only within

in the dark

there is no outside

great fear and fleeting beauty

run

with him

he vanishes and I am there

endless

the off-hand beginning

me under his hand
