Dança da Conquista brings to the stage the largest genocide in the history of humanity: the Conquest of the Americas by Colonial Europe, a genocide to which the colonized countries are inheritors, witnesses, and judges. The staging follows the rhythm and the form of a performative ritual, a dance in which the defeated invoke images of their own version of history. The play is a collage of texts from the Bible, poetry, and historical documents, invoking its expressive force in the successive symbolic shocks of mythological universes that constituted Latin America. The recourse to the mythical world explores communication through a symbolic vein, questioning the domination of the European cultural inheritance over the indigenous and African roots.
