PERIFÉRICO
“Periférico” is visual/urban artist Alexandre Farto/Vhils’s first work for the stage. In this piece, he considers urban evolution, the emergence of urban subcultures, and their impact in Portugal during the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.
It is based on his personal experience, as well as the experience of previous generations who lived through the 1974 Revolution and Portugal’s entry into the European Community in 1985. He explores the convergence between various artistic territories, creating a synergy between visual arts, music (contemporary and popular), and dance (classical and street).
This is a dynamic encounter between worlds that are often exclusionary: street art and stage art, marginal and institutionalised means of creativity, global and local culture.
