The Fabulous Ones
In her new dance piece "The Fabulous Ones", Elenita Queiroz interweaves philosophical and feminist themes and explores the integration of sound and dance in the tension between chance, physical (non-)presence and the everyday life. This experimental project embraces risk and inadequacy and focuses on randomness, chaos, control and sovereignty.
Warning
In WARNING FOR CONTEMPLATION SECTIONS, four dancers enter a universe of struggle, ferocity, scarcity, fatigue, collapse, and mutual support. WARNING FOR CONTEMPLATION SECTIONS is a choreographed manifesto. A call to a raw, lurking and contemplative form of rebellion. Project developed in the frame of Tanzplan Ost.

Leftover
«Leftover Experiement X» is a platform of improvisation, through movement, word and sound. Many ideas are lost when rehearsing a new piece, many musical blueprints never see the light of day or get released. With that thought in mind the performer and choreographer Elenita Queiroz brought together a group of four artists to research what is left, turn it over, play with it and stream it live.

La Ultima
La ultima is a contemporary dance piece based on a fictional situation: In an indeterminate future, all women suddenly disappear from the earth - all but one: la ultima. The dramaturgy of Elenita Queiroz's dance piece is based on the possible consequences of this scenario. What will this woman stand for? How will society deal with this situation? What kind of society will be "born" from this?

Nu
In most existing social circles, controversial concepts such as eroticism, shame, power, resistance, fertility, strength, and fragility are united in the naked female body. Transdisciplinary, courageous and touching, NU mixes humor and drama to remind us all of our first and undeniable state: to be human beings of skin, flesh, bones, blood, sweat, spirit, and rights.

48 Seconds
...a number, a time measure, an abstraction... ready or not, its time to move, once again. Hovering somewhere between the vibrating body and the experience of contemplation, the piece 48" has a hybrid format, mixing dance, theater and art installation and touches on issues such as displacement, identity, uncertainty and belonging.
