Guintche was born after a concert given by Cap Verdean Marlene Monteiro Freitas. She is a tragi-comical character, a facetious dancer swirling her hips, who has pursued her own life since her first performance in 2010. She is a hybrid character and multiplies identities, being at turn a witch, gogo dancer, puppet, boxer, contorsionist… She is a grotesque animal coming right out of an animist transe, vibrating to the sounds of drums, bringing the established order in upheaval. She is one of Frankenstein’s creatures, with her estranged beauty who, after multiple metamorphoses, faces and postures, eventually becomes dance itself.
