A Tralha

“A Tralha” is a quasi-monologue about hoarding. An essay about waste and obsoleteness, presented as a personal narrative. A reflection about the objects that surround us, that serve as a kind of extension of ourselves, containing our memories and functioning as an interface between us and the world.

Luís Lázaro Matos

Une vague joyeuse/Uma onda feliz

“Une vague joyeuse” is a project by Luís Lázaro Matos with a title that recalls the last scene of the film “Testament of Orpheus” (1960) by Jean Cocteau, in which a convertible car drives down a winding road while the passengers scream in joy, indifferent to the two policemen parked by the curb.

Anastasia Sosunova

When All This Is Over, Let’s Meet Up! + Agents

Through a process of distortion and the interlacing of elements from old mythologies, hybrid identities and a society of surveillance, Sosunova produces alternative forms of “contemporary folklore”, exploring new narratives and ways of life that require rules, ethics, codes and agreements between living beings.

The project “On Revelations and Muddy Becomings” is the culmination of a work about shadows and politics, which Odete, a multidisciplinary artist that operates within the spheres of music, visual arts, performance and theatre, has been creating.

Passages

“Passages” is a nomadic project that explores the relation between the movement of bodies and the spaces in which these inscribe their actions. In acting with imaginary objects, performers trigger resonances in multiple scales and dimensions, activating the physical memories of the audience, starting with the relationship to the spaces they inhabit.

Rodrigo García

Movidas Raras

The Argentinean iconoclast, playwright and theatre director Rodrigo García returns with an audiovisual creation, written and produced remotely during the lockdown period. Not theatre, but a green screen (chroma key) and five exceptional performers materialise the director’s overflowing imagination. Angélica Liddell, Denis Lavant, Florencia Vecino, François Chaignaud and Volmir Cordeiro give themselves, body and soul, to this experiment.

And Still We Move

And yet we still move. Fragility as a capacity, as a poetic place, is the starting point of a performance that arises from the desire to shift the private to the public sphere. The choreographers and performers Joana Castro and Maurícia | Neves question and reconfigure the relationships between them, using as a base photographs from the personal archive of a romantic relationship that ended last October.
