BLACK VELVET – Architectures and Archetypes is an original multidisciplinary performance art work created and premiered by Shamel Pitts, Mirelle Martins and Lucca del Carlo in S?o Paulo, Nov/2016 at Teatro Sergio Cardoso.
It is a celebration of the many textures, beauty, delicacy, and power within us.
This work researches and shares the sensibility of ideals, models, and structures as a projection of self. The Dealing within these structures of systems is to discover what is inside of us, between us, and around us. To hopefully bridge the distances so that we can see and meet each other. Some systems must be broken, re imagined, in order to reconstruct.
It Is an art piece that aims to share the colorfulness of blackness -especially in regards to black woman- in a relationship of love, compassion and camaraderie
