LOUNGE

What to expect

LOUNGE is a duet for two bodies who identify as women.

Together they move through states of active and passive rest.

They use each other's presence to go deeper into themselves and the atmosphere.

The piece uses the idea of the 'Invisible Lapdance': small, almost unnoticeable dance movements that use the gaze to blur the boundaries between giver and receiver.

Leaning on eroticism and forms of togetherness, the comfort of relaxation becomes an active statement of femininity.

Marga Alfeirão (Lisbon, 1994) uses different media to create safe spaces where intimacy and sexuality can be explored through dance and performance.

Strongly influenced by dance genres and sound textures from the African diaspora spread through the social fabric of Lisbon, Alfeirão actively claims femininity and creates space for women and for forms of sensuality seen from a female perspective.

LOUNGE (2023) won the [8:tension] Young Choreographers Award.

That same year she premiered No Biggie Deal, a solo about Notorious B.I.G., the Brooklyn rapper, stemming from sensationalism and nostalgia and asking: is Biggie bisexual?

Her first group work no c o r a ç ã o dela premiered last December with a team of eight artists in Sophiensaele, Berlin.
