A Casa Invisivel

Site-Specific Performance (Bairro Horizonte, Lisbon)

I enter a house that begins in the street, in the stairs that I go down, in the gallery that leads me to the railing.
I see,
a street that can be a living room,
where I played and we lived together.
A courtyard that can be a kitchen,
where I worked and we celebrated.
An interior that can be a room,
where I cried and you came in.
I pass by the living room table, I look towards the kitchen door,
I go up to the bedroom, I go near the window that looks out onto the courtyard
and I see another invisible house.

A city founded by memory.

Full of hypnotic cement canticles, of brutal landscapes full of stories.

Existe uma realidade objetiva onde o meu corpo e a minha mente são um só mas eu não estou aqui nem nunca estive

Duo

 

The eternal disconnection between body and mind/spirit is incessantly searching for a place where things supposedly make sense is the research territory that this project inhabits. We are crossed by distances and borders in a disordered and increasingly fragmented world. It is possible to feel-complete in this destroyed landscape of the world, what are we? How to articulate the fluxes of the body and of the thought? How to date your eyes if you have fervem thoughts with two fingers?

Popular memory is a territory to inhabit, to go deep. Landing the feet on the ground we walk on. Put them on the ground. Pass through land Change land. How to dance memory? How to bring it to the present?

lava.po.nada

Duo

We build the body from listening to our desires. The being begins when the body begins, understood as the founder of the abyss that separates one man from another man.

We are crossed by distances and borders. We are migrants. Foreign. Immigrants. One woman is one body, the other woman is another body. We risk diluting the limits and reinventing the borders to listen to the desires: of our time, of our spaces, of our own bodies. Today we cannot avoid the fundamental question that we intend to reflect on in movement: what to do with this body that we are?

Quem és? Perguntei ao desejo.
Respondeu: lava. Depois pó. Depois nada.

(Hilda Hilst - 1930 - 2004)

MIGRA

Dance and bandoneon duo

The bandoneon and the human body are two moving elements that house and

they carry sound. Music and dance are two bodies in constant change and fluctuation. "Migrate" is synonymous with an endless movement that transcends eras and nationalities. What are the origins, the cracks, what seeps, the music and the movement of all the inexhaustible movements that are as old as the beginning of time.

HEN

Solo

"Hen" raises the search for movement from a place of deep intimacy and solitude, prioritizing privacy in her dance. A body that is formed within anonymity, that is both unstable and unstable, that seeks to fall within itself in order to later organize itself, and fall again.

Hen is intimacy in one's own body.

is what is shown

And above all, what he chooses not to be shown.

Hen is a reflection on shared loneliness.

//3//

Dance and percussion duo

// 3 // is a work that brings together two elements as primitive as the dance and the drum. Through specific slogans and free improvisation, a dialogue is established between both elements. The scene is made up of a circular space that surrounds both performers: both the musician from the drums and the dancer. This spatial arrangement  proposes to understand both music, dance, lights and space as completely non-hierarchical elements.

SOLSTICIO DE PRIMAVERA

Quintet

"Now until daybreak, / let the fairies dwell here, / and of the three brides /
it will always be adventurous; /
  each loving couple /  He will always be faithful to his love.
Nor will it show any blemish /
  his lush offspring, /  of all those who bother
nature gives. /
  With the drops of dew /  let's consecrate this house, /  where their owners scarce /  happiness will never be. /  Sing and dance now"

(Sheakspeare W. A Midsummer Night's Dream, 1595)
