KAPUT! Joana Franco
26 November to 9 December
Espaço Cultural das Mercês
Monday to Friday | 2pm to 8pm
Kaput! is a collection of records and experiments in reducing dance to a choreography of points in space. It presents systematic representations of bodies and movements, between more or less geometric graphics and apparent mathematical expressions. These concepts are brought together in a geometric mirror, and also in a ‘generator’ of choreographic prototypes, customisable by visitors.
The exhibition (choreographic laboratory) is made up of a mural of schemes drawn up during the conceptual conception of Kaput! and two interactive objects: a machine that produces choreographic graphs from input data and an interactive projection of the body's transformation into a stickman.
26 November | 6.30pm
The inauguration will feature the performance (Kaput!), a solo choreography made up of 324 possible combinations of movements between 3 parts of the body

Joana Franco has a bachelor's degree in dance (2019) and a master's degree in choreographic creation (2023).
In recent years, she has been interested in choreography mainly as a subject for the study of bodies in movement, in greater or lesser proximity to dance.
Her work is characterised by a multidisciplinary practice, geared towards logical processes of expanding knowledge and producing provisional results.
