Bananada OPERANTÍPODA (Part I), by Marcelo Evelin/Demolition Incorporada, is a physical and sonic choreographic object created for and with eight artist collaborators from the Demolition Incorporada platform, centred on the idea of a vibrating body that invokes and mediates living forces to take place as a collective rite and shared experience of materiality and resonance. It is an opera unearthed from the primordial tropics – resurrected from a distant time – shamered, cacophonous, stammering, stumering, sung in dissonant voices, as the antithesis and outburst of extreme emotions in precarious forms of life. It’s an opera of opposites and contrasts, reconstructed in the fiction of an invented memory.

Bananada OPERANTÍPODA is a creation for 24 performers, including artists and non-artists from the local community of each city where it is performed. A show in three different parts that will be presented together in the year 2026.

Bananada OPERANTÍPODA (Part I) is the first instalment of the BANANADA show, which consists of a creation for 24 performers – including artists and non-artists from the local community in each city where it is performed. A show in three distinct parts to be presented together in 2026.
BANANADA has as its main axis the ‘excavation’ of a series of practices used in previous creations by Plataforma Demolition Incorporada, a performative operation based on simple and direct exercises focused on how to be together, addressing the sense of coexistence and shared autonomy in a multiple and diverse group of people.
