The new show created jointly by Brodas Bros and Desilence is called Dōji,
which means “simultaneous” in Japanese. Simultaneous things are those that
happen or develop at the same time, which is what happens between the
quartet formed by Berta Pons and Yuk Fruitós, from Brodas Bros, and Tatiana
Halbach and Søren Christensen, from Desilence. The four of them have joined
forces and created a piece in which visuals, interaction and dance come
together simultaneously, an abstract and personal inner journey in which every
piece that makes up the show expresses a natural state.
Just as their earlier collaboration—Around the World—was about a physical
journey through the different countries Brodas Bros had visited, their latest
work is about an inner journey that blends improvisation with perfectly
synchronised choreographies, combining the technique of VJing with dance in
such a way that each live performance will have its own personality, moving
away from a canned show.
We could say that Dōji is a spin-off of Around the World in which we pick what
we liked most from our earlier collaboration and develop it. While in Around
the World we used technology as a tool to create the content, in Dōji we use it
as a creative instrument with which to play and enjoy ourselves, freeing
ourselves from the constraints of the rendering technique. As its name
suggests, Dōji dips into oriental philosophy, but in a practical way; moving away
from mysticism or spirituality, we draw inspiration from tai chi movements and
theories about energy and change, which are as valid in Taoism as they are in
quantum physics and common sense.
