Inés Sybille Vooduness is a dancer, cultural researcher, and teacher, born in Barcelona to a Catalan mother and a Haitian father. She lives and works in Lisbon. Her choreographic practice imagines fictional encounters with Haitian Vodou deities, drawing on Kuduro (Angola), Coupé Décalé (Ivory Coast), and Dancehall (Jamaica). Through these movement codes, she explores philosophical and existential processes of reterritorialization.
Malvin Montero Puerca de Goma is a choreographer, dancer, and director, born in Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic). His artistic practice explores the movements, languages, and rituals of Caribbean communities, focusing on diaspora, hybridity, and the body as a site of memory. He trained in classical and contemporary dance in the Dominican Republic, Havana, and Madrid, and has performed at institutions like Teatro Real and Teatro de la Zarzuela.
They will be in residence from May 22 to May 30 as part of an exchange program between Moussem Nomadic Arts Center and Alkantara Festival, where they are jointly developing the project Cadences créoles, dix mille fois dédoublées.
