Specially conceived for this edition of Camping, Everything Not in Its Right Place II  stands as an active examination of minimalism, the piece being  essentially written around simple but amplified movements, whose effects  are inversely proportional to their concision. If space and time stand as a framework which is irreducible and sufficient for an action reduced  to its significant minimum, Bhu Bhu II nevertheless brings in staged elements that set about organising a dramaturgy. At the meeting point between a living body and physical material, the piece takes its place in a scenic installation which the public is invited to discover close-up. As its title suggests, Everything Not in Its Right Place II upsets established orders, by organising shifts of meaning and displacements between cultural references, which end up dislodging minimalism from its theoretical bases and renewing its imaginaries.
 

Bhu Bhu Acosta, better known as “Bhu Bhu II”, lives and works between  the Americas and Asia, after long travelling between São Paulo, Berlin  and Tokyo to train in contemporary dance. Benefitting from his multiple  influences, this choreographer moves between artistic worlds as diverse  as Polynesian hula, cooking shows, Willie Ninja’s voguing, Kazuo Ono’s  butô, Brazilian modernism and minimalist art.

Since 2001, the National Center for Dance (CND) has been making recordings of its shows and educational programming and has created resources from these filmed performances (interviews, danced conferences, meetings with artists, demonstrations, major lessons, symposia specialized, thematic arrangements, etc.).
