Vasya Run

If You Want to Continue

Vasya Run is an anonymous Russian collective made up of young men between the ages of 16 and 27 from the outskirts of Moscow. Their work blends contemporary art, theatre, street subcultures, and rituals of spiritual emancipation. If you want to continue, their new performance, is commissioned by BoCA and revolves around the central concept of the hero—a figure associated with a state that is “post” the present moment.

Black

Black DJ Set

We can gather Lisbon’s cultural history from this century and appoint Black as one of the motors/mentors that made it become what we know today. Maybe you’ll have to investigate a little further to know his real name, but as co-founder of group Filho Único, the life of the city nowadays is what he helped create.

Volmir Cordeiro

Rua – Braga, Lisboa

In “Rua”, Volmir manifests in the different bodies and faces the street might contain. The space which is drifted and crossed by the dancer’s redesigning by movement converts in an open abstraction, as the performer condenses in his body the diverse characters of the urban fauna, the ones most marginalized. A choreographic answer to the reading of the war poems of Bertolt Brecht, “Rua” instills a dance of thought and body, densifying the space, inhabiting a thousand ghosts.

It Will Sound Like Silence, the Sound of a Revolution Inside a Bunker

This work presents itself as an installation composed of several elements that local performers will activate in specific moments, inviting the audience to join in on the process. This work presents a reflection around the possibility of being able to still make revolutions facing the changes the digital revolution has introduced to society and communication, and facing the isolationism practiced by the states.

Tania Bruguera

Narciso

Following her recent investigation in the Tate Modern (London), “Narciso” evokes the migration and refugee crisis. Through the eye of Bruguera, this movement gains an expression of individual crisis centered in the body and the identity of each spectator: “A person will sit on a sculpture and will observe their face in the water. When they get near the water to see themselves, the reflection found will not be theirs but that of an immigrant person”, writes Tania Bruguera.

Scotoma Cintilante

“Scotoma Cintilante” is a performance-concert for a mixed choir of blind people with three dimensional graphical sheet music. The surface of a sculpture-machine is the inanimate matter that operates the mutation over the voice in time. Coming from a world-vision where tactile relations with inanimate matter is the primordial source of sound building, this performance-concert submits itself between matter and animates, pre-language and surface.

Total Eclipse

“Total Eclipse” is also a sound installation inspired in ‘Status Quo’ (1938), a performance by Sound of Spheres, for the unperformed political opera by the German-American Johanna M. Beyer. It is also an arrangement and a story of art that broke art itself - which is what the term avant-garde wants to describe but still can’t, because Beyer was a woman.
