Inés Sybille Vooduness
Dancer, cultural researcher, and professor
Inés Sybille Vooduness is a dancer, cultural researcher, and professor. Inés Sybille creates fictitious encounters with Haitian voodoo gods from her choreographic landscape: Kuduro from Angola, Coupé Décalé from Côte d’Ivoire, and Dancehall from Jamaica. As an artist, she models this philosophical material and explores the possibility of producing an existential conscience by reterritorializing these codes. In 2023, she was selected as a resident artist at La Casa Encendida with her performance Santa de Sustrato Autónomo. She is currently working on a coproduction with Festival TNT and the Teatro do Bairro Alto in Lisbon with her piece Simbi en Aigües Astronòmiques. In parallel, she has initiated research El Nostre Lakou Digital, which was selected for a residency at Campus Paulo Cunha e Silva in Porto, a residency at Fòrum Dansa Núcleo 2024, and as a pitch project for Common Lab 2024.
