Lisboa – Espaço BoCA Biennial 2025 Installation

Mappa: Concetto Spaziale, 2025 © Os Espacialistas

Designed for Espaço BoCA in Lisbon, the scenographic installation entitled “Mappa: Concetto Spaziale” was created to be the biennial’s meeting point, a space that hosts concerts, performances, talks, workshops, a store and moments of conviviality.

“It is an inhabited map,
a frontier,
a path,
a meeting square,
a hortus conclusus,
a baroque fold and wrinkle,
a zigzag, a detour,
and a folio of Lucio Fontana.
It is interior and exterior.
It is time, body, and space.
It is a space of spaces within a space.
It is Barragán-pink.
It is a sum of corners and edges.
It is a set of Euclidean golden circles,
Pleated à la Issey Miyake,
in Muybridgean movements.
It is a journey,
an “Camino Irreal” (unreal path) with departure, walking, and arrival.”
(Os Espacialistas)

Yo No Tengo Nombre

The performative installation Yo No Tengo Nombre, features an LED screen cutting through the landscape, projecting a text that oscillates between the poetic and the prophetic. This discourse questions the relationship between humans and nature, reversing the role of the observer: what if it were nature looking at us — and naming us?

The Spirit Lamp

Chrystabell presents “The Spirit Lamp”, a show that transports us to a territory where music and image become luminescence, mapped by the creative memory of David Lynch.

Milo Rau, Servane Dècle

The Pelicot Trial

A performance vigil that reconstructs the real and devastating case of Gisèle Pelicot. Conceived by Milo Rau and Servane Dècle, the play transforms the stage into an expanded courtroom, giving voice to the victim and exposing the banality of violence and the complicit silence that sustains it.
