The ocean (in Vigo), that takes and brings back the beloved one, the friend, is also the one that gives life and movement to Sem Mim.
With a choreography by Rodrigo Pederneiras, scenography and lighting by Paulo Pederneiras and costumes by Freusa Zechmeister, the creation of the Brazilian dance group is rocked by the original soundtrack woven by the hands of the Viganese musician and composer Carlos Núñez and by the Brazilian José Miguel Wisnik, from the only set of pieces of music from the Galician-Portuguese medieval profane songbook that got to us with their respective original sheet music: the famous cycle of the ocean in Vigo, by Martín Codax. The seven chants, dated from the XIIIth century, are the oldest testimony and the most appreciated survivals of one of the aspects of the troubadouresque tradition in the region at that time: the so called “friend chants”. There, the poet always speaks in the name of the woman; more specifically, young women that mourn the absence or celebrate the imminent return of the beloved-friend. Avid for the reunion, they confide sometimes with the ocean, sometimes with the mother, sometimes with friends. And to pacify or fustigate the desire, they bathe in the waves of the ocean. (In case of the Codax girls, in the waves of the ocean in Vigo.)
The lyric of the Viganese medieval troubadour inspires Rodrigo Pederneiras to rule his movement music sheet by the alternation between the calm and the fury , and by the seesaw that is typical of ocean waves, and, also, to (re)produce, on the stage, the separation between feminine and masculine, where one always claims the absence of the other.
From the combination of a geometric shape (a huge hollow aluminium square) and an organic shape (meters and meters of a synthetic woof used to shadow agricultural cultures), both of them vertically manageable, Paulo Pederneiras builds a metamorphic scenario that, along the spectacle, changes and forms representations of sceneries and different elements: ocean, mountains, clouds, boat, fishing net, dawn. The light he makes fall on the ballet dancers goes from white to light yellow, while a cyclorama on the background allows the color to invade the scenic space in punctual moments.
Over thin meshes dyed according to the color of the skin of each ballet dancer, Freusa Zechmeister applies inscriptions and textures based on adornments from the Middle Ages and the Pre-Raphaelite period, transforming the body of the ballet dancers into a support for all the simbology from that time, and creating the illusion that the scene is populated by “naked” men and women, whose “nudity” is just covered by one of the most archaic signs of the marine imaginarium: the tatoo.
