Von Calhau!

Tau Tau

Guardians of an archive of the obscure, the artistic duo Van Calhau! create work generated by the mystery of the obvious (blatancy). The Von Calhau! are carried away by a deep connection, sometimes almost primitive, to the world they inhabit.

Concert, performance

Tianzhuo Chen, Aisha Devi, Asian Dope Boys

Concert-Performance / BoCA Oppening

At the forefront of new Chinese contemporary art, Tianzhuo Chen uses colourful, grotesque, and kitsch images dominated by references to Chinese religion, Japanese Butoh, voguing, and the world of fashion. The electronic-pop mantras of Napalese-Tibetan artist Aïsha Devi create a musical landscape that is intense and visceral, industrial and dance-able.

Rodrigo García

Come to Play with God and Devil (Pinball Bosch)

Bosch’s triptych “The Temptations of Saint Anthony” is a masterpiece of Western art and a highlight of the collection at Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga. Inspired on it, the Argentine playwright and theatre director Rodrigo García creates an installation with a flipper machine, to offer us a pop, demonic and hallucinated dimension of the painting.

Salomé Lamas

Fatamorgana

The filmmaker Salomé Lamas presents in world premiere “Fatamorgana”, her first stage creation. A political parody, where a woman finds herself in a wax museum on the outskirts of Beirut, and from which emerge historical figures, as ghosts, and with whom she dialogues, cleaning the dust.

Porto

Teatro Nacional São João

Installation

Tania Bruguera

Endgame

Designed for the context of the BoCA, the artist challenges herself to enter the territory of the theater, proposing to stage “Endgame” by Samuel Beckett, a text she read in 1998 and for which she designed a giant cylindrical structure, which will be inhabited by the public, who sees the show from top to bottom.

Guia Prático para Artistas Ocupados

In this collaboration, the creation is conceived for 13 performers with mental disabilities, from Crinabel Teatro. They challenge the boundary between fiction and reality, trying to find, among Cindy Sherman’s creative universe and theirs own, a possibility of changing paradigmatic forms and contents and calling into question the absolute senses.

Jenny Hval

Concert “Jenny Hval” | BoCA Closing

All modesty aside, Jenny Hval is an absolute miracle of experimental pop. It’s a lofty affirmation, but well deserved by this vigorous Norwegian artist. With a background in performance, she moulds word and sound to a conceptual line that is as apocalyptic as it is hopeful.
