DOIS
Creation 2016 • On tour
Luis and Pedro are brothers. Besides family, memories and common experiences, they also share the same profession, hobbies and interests. Two artists, two brothers, dividing / sharing the same stage for the first time.
Taking as a starting point the fact of being brothers, they research topics such as empathy, trust, challenge and rivalry, exploring the deeply symbolic weapon of bow and arrows.
Inspired by classic tales, performance art and personal experiences, Luis and Pedro mix archery, visual theater and circus, creating subtle, humorous, intelligent and beautiful interpretations of the relationship between brothers.
“It snowed last year too: I made a snowman and my brother knocked it down and I knocked my brother down and then we had tea.”
~ Dylan Thomas

“(…) nous sommes pris dans le flux d’une création polymorphe hallucinante.
Les flèches sont les baguettes magiques de ces deux robins des bois à la dextérité époustouflante. (…)
Tenir le fil, garder le rythme, surveiller le toaster, viser : l’exigence est là et canalise musique, graphisme, acrobatie,
danse, capoeira, tous les arts dans un flux qui pourrait ne plus avoir de fin.”
Pauline de la Boulaye / Stradda- 2016
“Les artistes de DOIS parviennent à transmettre toutes les facettes d’une relation fraternelle
en une heure de spectacle émouvant, attachant, drôle et subtile.
Dans la salle, le public a été conquis et n’a pas retenu rires et applaudissements.”
Ambrune Martin / Sort-tu.ca – 13.04.2018
“DOIS deixa clara a sensação de profundidade no contato entre os irmãos Sartori do Vale,
a sensação de que estamos vendo algo nutrido antes de qualquer pretensão artística ou profissional.
DOIS mostra uma relação baseada na confiança.”
Geraldo Cruz e Wagner Linares / Blog Circos Sesc SP – June 2016
