THIS IS CONCRETE brings together the choreographers, Jefta van Dinther and Thiago Granato, in a deliberately nonchalant and intimate parade of the material as Body, both the foundation and the instrument of their creation.

Radically exhibitionist, gladly scandalous, deliberately slow, they call on the sensitivity of the public to go beyond the threshold of its conventions.

THIS IS CONCRETE is a nonchalant and intimate stroll, where two male bodies intermingle with each other incessantly, blurring their boundaries. The bass tones are dizzying and the shadows whirl, the journey stretches out to become almost lethargic. Movements then mutate into words, and the dancers start to speak their mouths and bodies. As their fusional complicity develops progressively into a carnal mood, all frames of reference disappear: wandering turns to pleasure and passion becomes dance.

THIS IS CONCRETE marks the unique collaboration between two dancers and choreographers engaging in the risky game of the exploration of their intimacy.
