REPERTÓRIO N.2 is the second piece of a choreographic trilogy by the Brazilian

artists Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira exploring dance as a form of self-defense.

Using unconventional and informal techniques, they embrace an alternative,

underground lineage of self-defense practices. Through their choreographies, they

undertake a critical reflection of the world they inhabit, engaging in a choreographic

process that traverses imagination and intuition. Their aim is to liberate themselves

from both implicit and explicit constraints, confronting the colonial, racial, and

cisheteropatriarchal frameworks inherent in Western thought.

He studied art at the Universidade Federal Fluminense in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as well as at the Escola Superior de Música e Artes do Espectáculo in Porto, Portugal. Pontes has been presenting his works internationally in art galleries and performing arts festivals since 2016. In 2022, alongside Wallace Ferreira, he won the Young Choreographers’ Award [8:tension] at the ImPulsTanz Festival in Vienna.
