52Blue

A dance solo by Francisco Thiago Cavalcanti, based on the existence of a blue whale called 52Blue. This species, unique in the world, has an anomaly that is still unexplained by science; its sound frequency reaches 52 hertz. An ordinary whale has a frequency of 15 to 20 hertz. Because of this, 52 Blue cannot live with others of its species, as it would be unbearable. Based on this fact, Francisco creates a narrative full of ghosts, loneliness, pain, sadness, illusion, play, enchantment

and imagination. The work is based on: the author's personal archives, dances he has already danced, soundscapes, discursive desires he has not yet experienced, as well as the poetic translation of his neurodivergent condition. Francisco is autistic and Francisco is also a blue whale with very particular frequencies.
