They emerge in infants before falling out, in a mix of pride and pain, marking both the end of a childhood age and the birth of language. They carry within them memories and stories, they are exchanged or kept as relics of a passage, of a transition. BABY TEETH is a choreographic piece for ten dancers that invests the space of the mouth as a place of taste, of bite and of contagion, where pleasure mingles with pain, where speech takes shape. Bringing together artists with multiple practices – choreographers, visual artists, poets, lighting designers – this piece is a polyphonic experience, an emotional dance journey that proposes, through song and the plasticity of bodies and materials, to slip away from the constraints of language and open up sensitive spaces. A chorus of voices, languages and gestures that answer, bite and transform each other. With a multilingual and multidisciplinary team, coming from Brazil, Latin America and Europe, Catol Teixeira – choreographer and dancer living and working between Rio and Geneva – develops an unquestionably collective writing, based on the relationships, exchanges and transmission that make up the creative process.
