Lá Fora/ Cá dentro

What is out there? How many people, flowers, how many animals, how many worlds? And what is there inside? How many thoughts, emotions, sensations?
Nowadays, the separation between "inside" and "outside" has become very clear and restricted. However, are we able to look outside and understand all the "insides" that exist beyond us? What do I think of the world and what do I think of myself? How do I influence the world and let myself be influenced by it? Are we connected?
If we lived only inside, what would be left for us? And if we were only outside, what would be left of us?

Estudo #1

If the image is the language of time, the word is the language of space. How does a set of biographical landscapes help us think about a universal affective geography? Resulting from a process of collecting and studying family archives, this object is developed around a photographic sequence starring a self-fictionalised female subject, in an exercise that elects the singular as a favourite place for thinking about plural dynamics of immanence and transcendence, consciousness and action. In a reflection on the image-type and the subject-object logics that the portrait offers, this project is constituted as the first materialization of what is a prolonged research on the relationship between the one who sees and the one who is seen.

Call Me Three Times

Call Me Three Times is a play that navigates between fragments of oneiric states and realities of desire. It is an exploration of possible fantasies and their limits. Once a fantasy is located and formulated, what are the consequences of making those dreams tangible? Through segments articulated with live video projection, pre-recorded video and live action, the author invites the audience to explore the multiple facets of their own questioning and vulnerabilities and their falsification. This work was developed in the context of PACAP 5 - Advanced Programme of Creation in Performing Arts curated by João Fiadeiro in collaboration with Márcia Lança, Carolina Campos and Daniel Pizamiglio.
