Double Bill: Cosmophobia and Tremors

Cosmophobia by Alessandra Azeviche

This work-in-progress is an attempt to challenge the institutional ignorance sustaining both ecological ruin and our existential dread of the cosmos. Asking “is fear a primal instinct or a symptom of modern alienation?”, the piece draws on Mestre Nêgo Bispo’s revolutionary theories to interrogate how losing our ancestral and ecological connections fuels collective anxiety by bridging counter-colonial thought and environmental psychology.

Tremors is a call to embrace our vulnerability at different stages of our lives and re-imagine the space of dance performance. Our response to the horizontal acceleration of time that comes with age is to intensify our attention, to enable a gentle internal transformation that extends to audiences. Tremors imagines dance as a communal, attentive practice: redemption through presence and listening. Harmonics emerging from the chaos of dynamic, opposing forces, and our singular ability to blend fury and tenderness in a single gesture.
