CHORÉGRAPHE, DANSEUSE, CHERCHEUSE
Inés Sybille Vooduness is a dancer, cultural researcher, and teacher. Born in Barcelona to a Catalan mother and a Haitian father, she navigates between Lisbon and Barcelona. Inés Sybille creates fictional encounters with Haitian Vodou deities through her choreographic field: Kuduro from Angola, Coupé Décalé from Côte d’Ivoire, and Dancehall from Jamaica. She shapes this philosophical material and explores the possibility of producing an existential awareness by reterritorializing these codes. In 2023, Inés was selected as an artist-in-residence at La Casa Encendida with her performance Santa de sustrato autónomo. Followed Simbi em águas astronómicas. Simultaneously, she is launching her research project O nosso lakou digital, selected for a residency under the 2024 Núcleo program at Forum Dança, Campus Paulo Cunha e Silva, and as a pitch project at Common Lab 2024, as part of Common Stories, a Europe Creative programme. Her new work, Creole cadences, ten thousand times unfolded, in collaboration with Malvin Puerca de Goma, was supported in 2025 by O Espaço do Tempo, with BPI and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation, and will be shown at the Alkantara Festival in November 2026.
