The “festas do largo” of Salvador and its contradictions are the predominant landscape of Looping: Bahia Overdub, a show that emerged from the meeting between sound thinking and choreographic thinking. Looping constitutes a study of time: repetition and accumulation. Movements of cultural tension and distension, through procedures that organize sonorities, bodies and spaces. Just like in the streets, what’s at play here is the collective arrangements through an aesthetic-political participation. 


Looping: Bahia Overdub is a collaborative creation directed by Felipe de Assis, Leonardo França and Rita Aquino. The work is the joint creation of independent artists whose trajectories cross between dance, theatre and music. Their multidisciplinary practices articulate creation, production, research, formation and curatorship in different performing contexts.
