O Crivo

O Crivo is a contemporary dance performance inspired by Primeiras Estórias by João Guimarães Rosa, exploring human relationships through encounters shaped by silence, distance, and transformation. Two men traverse an inner sertão, not as a geographic place but as a symbolic landscape of solitude, time, and becoming, guided by the raw sounds of nature and the subtle intensity of Brazilian piano compositions. The visual identity for the project was entirely crafted through handmade techniques, using clay, fabrics, and paper as expressive materials, translating the physicality, fragility, and depth of the performance into a tactile and poetic visual language.
