“Os Teus Mortos” is the final chapter of the Trilogia do Sol (Sun Trilogy), a project by Julián Pacomio investigating the varying intensities, mythologies and dramaturgies of sunlight over the course of the day. After dawn (“Apocalipse entre amigos ou o dia simplesmente”) and midday (“Toda la Luz del Mediodía”), “Os Teus Mortos” dives into dusk and the night closing in, that dense transition when light disappears and the body begins a different vibration.

Developed on a residency at Espaço BoCA, this new work sees nighttime not as absence or fear, but as a fertile, sensory site where darkness brings joy, shelter and new beginnings. Inspired by popular expressions such as lubricán and lusco-fusco, Pacomio elaborates an aesthetic for that moment when the world loses its outline and the air gets thicker.

On the border between text and performance, words and choreography, “Os Teus Mortos” presents a staging of blindness: an expanded vision out of darkness, where the invisible is no longer absence but dramatic material. The public presentation resulting from this artistic residency will be a rite of passage, a gesture that embraces the end of the day as a site of vitality, beauty and the reinvention of our dead — and our ways of living with them.
