Carolina Mendonça
CAROLINA MENDONÇA earned a master’s degree in Choreography and Performance from Giessen University in Germany and graduated in Performing Arts from ECA-USP in Brazil. Her latest projects include Zones of Resplendence (2023), which plays with feminist perspectives on violence. In 2021, she created Sirens, an attempt to listen to the siren song as a collective practice. In 2018, she created Pulp-History as a Warm Wet Place at Mousonturm, exploring intuitive archeology to digest the remains of the 18th and 19th centuries; useless land, where she, along with Catalina Insignares, invited the audience to sleep while they read aloud throughout the night.
Carolina has also curated NIDO (2022) with Suely Rolnik and Victoria Perez Royo; the Performing Arts Festival VERBO (2017) at Galeria Vermelho, Temporada de Dança (2017), and Videobrasil in São Paulo. She has developed practical-theoretical research on topics such as telepathy, levitation, and deep listening, sharing this knowledge in workshops (e.g., at Exerce in Montpellier, Tabakalera in Donostia, NIDO in Rivera, HfmdK in Frankfurt, and Teerā National Theater in Tehran). Carolina always creates her work in close collaboration with other artists like Catalina Insignares, Marcelo Evelin, Marcela Santander, Dudu Quintanilha, and Carolina Bianchi.
