Serial Component is a choreographic research project and performance developed by Brazilian artist Davi Pontes, unfolding across three episodes.
Each presents a specific bodily vocabulary through collaborations with invited performers, navigating intimate and fragmentary exchanges. Exploring notions of the archive and questioning the transmission of choreographic codes inherited from Western traditions, the work invites us to think of the choreographic gesture not as something fixed or predetermined, but rather as a flow.
Continuing research initiated with philosopher Denise Ferreira da Silva around the concept of Black Ecologies, the work proposes heat transfer as an alternative to the Western model of dance: an internal energy that moves through difference, without one body becoming another or losing its attributes.
The performance is developed through a collaborative project between EAF and Pinacoteca de São Paulo, where the performance will continue later this year.
The performance is part of EAF’s ongoing programme around Más Arte Más Accion’s Around a Tree installation bringing artists, scientists, and audiences together to explore human–plant interconnections and biodiversity loss.
