CCL - Centro Cultural de Lagos Fri 9 AUG, 21h30 Dança / 60'
My images are born from that which I am not, from what I would like to embrace and cannot, because I’m made of limitations.
Perhaps by exceeding my own limits, I can find new things. This play is a reflection about performance, about creation and about the interpreter’s role as a mediator of the work.
It is a work that evokes other creators and other works that have influenced us. It is a work that is built around the identity of two people that as one create multiples imaginaries.
