With a s s o m b r a ç ã o: Apparition at Nyon Station, Brazilian artist Ametonyo Silva offers a dance where the body becomes a site of appearances and disappearances. In Brazilian Portuguese, “assombração” refers to a mysterious presence, an elusive trace that haunts or passes through a space, a body or a thought. More than a ghost, it speaks to a lingering imprint or an embodied memory. These invisible presences that pass through us and touch us resonate in our feet, stomachs, mouths, ears and eyes. For this site-specific performance at Nyon station, created in collaboration with Eduardo Joly, Ametonyo weaves together gestures, memories and sounds to shape a choreographed piece that is both committed and engaging. Powered by the sound setup co-designed with Joly, these ever-shifting apparitions are set in motion and shared with the intention of sparking dance-image-sensation in every passer-by. Feel free to join in and let yourself be moved by the dance!
