This is a 15 minutes extract from a 50 min piece. The performers and choreographers Aloun Marchal (France) and Henrique Furtado (Portugal) present an hyperventilating performance, bringing together a wide range of manhood practices – from throat songs to couple dances and modern wrestling. Face to face wearing skin-tight playsuits, Aloun Marchal and Henrique Furtado weigh each other up, stare at each other, stand firm in the middle of the stage and let out a roar from deep inside. Bibi Ha Bibi explores a wide range of sounds and movements with clashing styles, from sports fighting to teasing childish games, from rumbling noises to lullabies, from straightforward breathing to bestial yelling. Progressive mechanisms drive the performers even further into their exercise, moving disjointedly and opening their throats more and more. Progressively, voices and faces, laughing and roaring, get tangled, mixed up, and rival each other. Based on listening, mimicry and exchange of movements the “pas de deux” of Bibi Ha Bibi glides from controlled violence to sensuality. Aloun Marchal and Henrique Furtado have both worked in different collaborations in France, Portugal and Sweden. Bibi Ha Bibi is their first performance together.
