[2014]

• Biomashup is a dance concert for 6 dancers and 1 musician
• Directed by Cristian Duarte, the work invites us to an exercise of permanent perception of a space resonating kinetics fictions. The dancers, as dynamic forces, provide their dance archives, producing a field of contamination and regeneration by the different possibilities and intensities not exhausted by historical time. Live, the musician Tom Monteiro, together with the Russian instrument Theremin – one of the first electronic instruments to be invented, and one of the few that can be played without physical contact – anounces from the first second the work ethics: to build a movement that is body without being of the body. (Katz, 2014)
• Biomashup premiered at Lote/Casa do Povo in August 2014. In the same year was awarded the following prizes: APCA (São Paulo Art’s Critic Assossiation) for Dance Research and Prêmio Denilto Gomes for Dance Creation.
• “With Biomashup, the second of two performances that Brazilian dance artist Cristian Duarte presented at the Singapore International Festival of Arts’ pre-festival season The O.P.E.N, he has proven himself to be a master of bodily investigation.Biomashup, like his other work, The Hot One Hundred Choreographers, was a study of the workings of the body. But unlike Hot One Hundred which related the body directly to the politics of memory, Biomashup was an exercise of visceral purity, framing the body for what it plainly was – a physical entity.”
  Lee Mun Wai, The Straits Times, Singapore
• “A rare combination of density and beauty [that] inaugurates a way of saying the particular and the common in the body.”

“The different knowledge stabilized in the body of each of the six excellent performers are shown not as their possessions and not binding them to their personal pronouns. The way that each step takes appears as a design (as in drawing, as in design art, as in destination), in other words, it goes simply happening as a motor organization essential for the body to dance. This way of despoiling is able to mix the whole (life) and the private (personal history).” 
Helena Katz, Caderno 2/O Estado de São São Paulo

• “Biomashup, result of the third edition of the residency project Lote# proves the consistency and fertility of this research directed by Cristian Duarte since 2011. Conceived in a historic site of São Paulo, Casa do Povo, the work promotes a game of resignifications – of space, of movement, of time – setting with the audience a dynamic that stimulates sensory perception in incessant and shared rhythm.”
