The word Fortaleza [Fortress] brings the ambiguity of being the name the State of Ceará’ capital, in Brazil’s northeast part, and to name a military architectural structure designed for defense – pointing to strength and fortification ideas. The Cia.Dita show refers to these two possibilities, since it works based on the city’s iconography, through photos depicting the naked dancers in front of architectural landmarks. The work presents itself as resistance, revealing a political body-city that seeks to make it possible to live in the harshness of urban life, while highlighting its indigenous roots, the effect of the Belle Époque and other historical facts of the capital. It reveals outer and marginal bodies in a permanent state of war. There they simultaneously carve themselves to the violence and kindness of the city, which brings within itself the idea of strength in its name.
