In 2024, the Paulo Ribeiro Company began a trilogy based on different eras: the beginning of the 20th century, the 1960s and the present day, inspired by music and its composers. Music is the breath of time, of the constraints and hopes of the years that have passed. Three different choreographic pieces that seek unity in their formal and musical diversity, which are inspired first by music and then by the life and sensitivity of the chosen composers. “Maurice Accompagné”, the first part of the trilogy, focuses on the beginning of the 20th century, crossing the life and work of Luís de Freitas Branco and Maurice Ravel.
Paulo Ribeiro wants to cross different times, realities and geographies, to remember how music and the body transcend the moment and connect us irremediably, if possible to transcribe the dimension and elevation they possess, regardless of the contingencies and more or less propitious moments that shape them.
