Diana Niepce
Diana Niepce is the author of works that question the existence of norms regarding the human body, in society, and on stage. Shows such as Anda, Diana, and O Outro Lado da Dança have placed the Portuguese choreographer at the forefront of national creation.
“We continue questioning the norm, its hierarchy, and its logic. We forget what we are and what we should be. We suspend ourselves in an apocalyptic universe, we exist and resist in a daily perversity, in a kind of delirium that celebrates cruelty and violence, while we try to survive in the sadistic search for a logic that surpasses the understanding of the reconfiguration and resignification of the body.
Here, we question stereotypes and defy gravity, we cross lyricism and violence in an image that reveals bodies in constant confrontation with their limits. In a landscape composed of order and chaos, submission and revolt, Hornfuckers question what we are, what is imposed on us, and how the system that sustains us can be a source of unpredictability and oppression.”
