They emerge in the infant before falling out, in a mixture of pride and pain, marking both the end of a childhood age and the birth of language. They carry memories and stories within them, they are exchanged or kept like relics of a passage, 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 contagion, where pleasure mingles with pain, where speech takes form. Bringing together artists with multiple practices – choreographers, visual artists, poets, lighting creators – this piece is a polyphonic experience, a danced emotional journey that proposes, through song and the plasticity of bodies and materials, to slip out of language assignments and open sensitive spaces. A chorus of voices, languages and gestures that respond to each other, bite and transform. With a multilingual and multidisciplinary team, from Brazil, Latin America and Europe, Catol Teixeira – choreographer and dancer living and working between Rio and Geneva – develops a resolutely collective writing, founded on the relationships, exchanges and transmission that constitute the creative process.
