ALL AROUND YOU SOFIA DIAS & VÍTOR RORIZ | 2024
Francis Alÿs Ricochets
All around you is a performance that invites one member of the audience at a time to “be” for 10 minutes with five performers in a room. The peculiar structure of All Around You is based on a sensitive dialogue between performers and visitor, where only their presence is required and from which the performance reinvents itself. The power of this performance lies in its simplicity, plasticity and the permanent reconfiguration of relationship codes: like a game in which the rules are invented as you play.

SOFIA DIAS AND VÍTOR RORIZ are a duo of artists/choreographers that collaborate since 2006. The hybrid nature of their research, combined with a curiosity and need for experimentation, led them to create various shows, performances, soundtracks, videos, podcasts and installations, crossing different contexts and blurring boundaries between artistic disciplines. Their stage performances predominantly performed by the two, summon a purified choreographic language in connection with the word and the voice, have been presented in more than 17 countries. In 2011 they were awarded with the Prix Jardin d'Europe and Aerowaves Spring Forward with the performance A gesture that is nothing but a threat. They have been invited to collaborate with several artists, including Catarina Dias, Marco Martins, Clara Andermatt, Mark Tompkins, Felipe Hirsch, Boris Charmatz and more often with Tiago Rodrigues. They regularly teach classes and workshops in different formal and informal education institutions. They have been organizing residencies and research laboratories for artists in different contexts. The artists were also invited to curate PACAP 2 (2018/2019) and PACAP 6 (2023) - Advanced Program for Creation in Performing Arts. Between 2023/24, they were Artists-in-Residence at the Champalimaud Foundation. In 2025, they will be artists Em Casa at Estúdios Vítor Córdon.
