Swing, move, walk! That’s the only way you can escape him. He, who rules the world has no
power over movement and knows that our body in motion is sacred. And you can only
escape him when you are moving. Because he only exercises power over that which is immobile
and immobilised, over what is passive and inert.
Olga Tokarczuk
NÓMADAS is OBando’s most recent creation, directed and dramaturgically curated by João Neca with Ana Lúcia Palminha and Rita Brito in the cast.
Bando’s first premiere of 2023 is part of the international project PLAY ON [link], a large-scale European network involving nine companies from different countries that propose to integrate new technologies into theatrical creation as a way of transfiguring the scenic narrative.
Through a partnership with the Robotics Department of the Polytechnic Institute of Guarda, the scenic space of NÓMADAS will be inhabited by an automated robot that, with the actresses, will draw the theatrical narrative. Through a partnership with the Dortmund-based collective Cistifellea, visual artist Elena Tilli is responsible for the creation and design of video and technology, and Colombian musician Nico Yurgaki takes on the sound design and music of the show.
NÓMADAS also has set design by Rui Francisco, costumes by Catarina Fernandes, light design by João Neca and Rita Louzeiro, support to the corporality by Catarina Câmara, assistance to the artistic direction by Raul Atalaia, research by Nuno Atalaia, production by Diana Martins
