Entering the Web is a performance that takes place in a public space as three dancers activate the installation Cornucopian Cut by Luiza Furtado. The penetrable sculptures framing this piece were built using tensegrity techniques, which have been mostly incorporated in architectural, artistic, and design projects by active male figures in the fields such as Buckminster Fuller and Frei Otto.

 

 Through a queer-feminist perspective, the work weaves found materials such as plastic, wood, and metal with second-hand fabrics to create a fiction in which the images created by the artist expose the residual aspects of industrial processes involved in the making of such re-signified materials.

 

The penetrable structures serve as an open-air stage and a prosthetic extension of the performer's bodies as the material affinity links inorgânic and organic parts, while the choreography evolves through a hybridization process.
