BoCA Summer School 2022 — Next Performances

Jonathan Uliel Saldanha

On the border between sound and visual arts, composer and director Jonathan Uliel Saldanha investigates areas of intersection between these artistic territories, exploring tensions between the synthetic and the landscape. He runs a two-day music and sound arts workshop at CCB.

Pilar Albarracín

A multidisciplinary artist, Pilar Albarracín is one of the most recognised contemporary Spanish artists. Her work questions, through parody or irony, artistic, religious and cultural traditions, especially that of the identity of women in Andalusian culture. She runs a 2-day performing arts and visual arts workshop at MAAT.

MARIANA TENGNER BARROS, GUSTAVO CIRÍACO, PEDRO RAMOS

"Inside the forest, body and imagination" is the first artistic action to take place in the Monsanto Forest, where BoCA started a tree planting process. With a tripartite format, this performing arts workshop brings together three artists with a transdisciplinary practice, between dance, performance and the visual arts: Mariana Tengner Barros, Gustavo Ciríaco and Pedro Ramos.

EL CONDE DE TORREFIEL

Tanya Beyeler and Pablo Gisbert are the directors of the Spanish theatre collective El Conde de Torrefiel, a company that has been touring the most important European festivals and theatres in recent years. They lead a 5-day theatre and performing arts workshop at Teatro Nacional D. Maria II.

ORLAN

She shocked the world in the 1990s when he performed “The Reincarnation of Santa ORLAN”, a series of nine plastic surgeries that were broadcast via satellite to several museums and art galleries in Europe. ORLAN is one of the most important French artists, author of the manifesto “Carnal Art”. She runs a three-day workshop for the first time in Portugal.

At the invitation of BoCA, the French artist ORLAN presents, at 7 pm in the Sala dos Geradores, in the Central Tejo building, the public conversation “THIS IS MY BODY, THIS IS MY SOFTWARE”, with free entry. The talk takes place in connection with her first workshop in Portugal, which she runs at BoCA Summer School, between September 30th and October 2nd.
