Kiluanji Kia Henda

Coral of Bodies without North

In the theater show “Coral dos Corpos sem Norte”, Kiluanji Kia Henda thinks of migration as a process of the pemba. Going as coming back. The journey as a stay in place. A curse that accompanies us at every step and takes us back to where we started.

Alberto Cortés, João Gabriel

Os Rapazes da Praia Adoro

A creation that brings together theatre and painting to explore the intimate encounter between two male bodies — one Portuguese, the other Spanish — on an imaginary beach somewhere between Lisbon and Madrid. This symbolic place becomes a space of connection and healing, where intimacy and desire intertwine, evoking memories of 1970s and 80s pornographic cinema. The piece proposes alternative ways of understanding male sexuality, marked by delicacy, poetry, and the need for affection.

Talk with the artist

El Conde Torrefiel’s practice crosses theater, choreography, visual arts and literature, building a hybrid language that looks at the present, exploring the relationship between the individual and the collective, the private and the political.
