.
✍️ It tells the story of an immigrant who lives in a long forgotten time. A man leaves his wife and child seeking better prospects in an unknown country on the other side of a vast ocean. He finds himself in a bewildering city of foreign customs, peculiar animals, curious floating objects and indecipherable languages. With nothing more than a suitcase, the immigrant must find a place to live, food to eat and some kind of employment. He is helped along the way by sympathetic strangers, each carrying their own unspoken history: stories of struggle and survival in a world of incomprehensible violence, upheaval and hope.

“Anjos Que Caem” a 30 min, creation by Davi Rodrigues, for the show “Here and After.” The show took place @The Dance Centre on May 27, 2012.
An excerpt of AQC was performed through seasons 4 and 7, without any doubts a masterpiece that still resonates with our audience members.
.
✍️ Anjos que caem (Falling angels) is about the path of angels once they have finished their mission. Where do angels go once they have fulfilled their duties? "Why are we here now?" - This piece suggests that there is no 'now' or 'here.' There is only a place that angels create together, so they can find one another. Nobody makes it alone. They need each other to finish their work.
What is an angel's purpose? To remember and let go. And through this, they begin again.

✍️ In Islam, Barakah (Arabic: بركة : also Baraka) is the beneficent force from God that flows through the physical and spiritual spheres as prosperity, protection, and happiness.
(Wikipedia)
In a future not too distant from now, a group of people gathers beneath a desert sun to ask forgiveness from the earth. Years of neglect have depleted their livelihood, and the search for water becomes a mission of faith and courage. A wise woman steps forward to demonstrate a more spiritual way of survival. The desert heat obscures people's sense of reality and their thirst is echoed through empty water barrels. The journey is hard and they are filled with a wild love for each other. They engage in rituals that demand human sacrifices in the hopes that the earth will accept their apology and replenish their existence.

✍️ The unknown. People look into space and seem to be elsewhere. We feel the presence of what is hidden, of what surely exists but is not yet revealed. We feel something change as we watch this piece. As if an instant has been frozen, during the duration of our looking.
We move more deeply within the space as the rhythm builds and a certain truth is unveiled.
