to touch with this ghost bone as a wave entering the holes the eyes glasses and collapsing on a soft ground like the potatoes in the legs or baked potatoes tectonic plates oceans whales wishes laughter that move and paralyze to go down in this toboggan to a pool full of chlorine that makes the eyes red this color that carries life and death in the same word bad word extinguished fires still burn how much violence can irony carry on the back legs paws skin . delaying what we do not know what we desire and do not know what we eat and do not know and tails that eat mouths and devour worlds maybe it is about this abyss and walking along these damp edges that make us slip and almost fall and yet continue

From zones/corps of performative studies that bring together somatic education practices, walks and oracular delusions, we make ourselves available to research states of perception to the subtle and invisible that nourish existence with enchantments and ecosystem approaches.

In the middle of the process, we shared with the community the workshop Ecótones – Study Zones in Performative Creation, and at the end of the process, we invited the public to three experiences with variations in duration, place, and relationship:

• to move a fixed certainty, by Carolina Canteli
• Softening the Bones, by Ves Liberta
• plucking the dog’s teeth, by Leonardo Shamah

Carolina Canteli is driven by the desire to investigate art as a moving matter, a meeting point between the intimate field and the public sphere. She currently lives in Lisbon and already realizes the impact that the city has on her, experiencing a landscape-body of horizons and views of the river. She is in the context of artist researchers in PACAP 5, while following her solo authorial work and as a director and performer at Grupo MEIO.

Leonardo Shamah (*1981 – BRAZIL). Degree in Performing Arts from the University of Brasília (UnB). Artist/Professor of Theatre and Performance busy writing, cutting/pasting and walking. Studies Movement, Daily Life (artevida) and Spatialities in processes of performative artistic creation. Since 2000, manifests as Drag Queen.

Ves Liberta (1998) studied dance at Escola O Corpo Da Dança in Torres Novas, at ESD in Lisbon and at the expanded contemporary dance program at AHK in Amsterdam. Worked with Ana Borralho and João Galante, Raimund Hoghe, Pedro Barreiro, Leonor Lopes and Dinis Machado. Studied the BioChá method with author Zélia Sakai. As a creator, has developed work in the areas of performance and poetry, focusing on themes such as Empathy, Queerness, Inheritance and Contamination.

to move a fixed certainty is a walk that softens the concrete. It is a deformation of the hardness of urban life from the relationship between listening to a thought in words and walking the curves of the streets, observing the events – banal and performative, arranged in the path of a block. From the reflection of a small mirror in the hands of those who arrive to experience the performance, together with an audio transmission and small insinuations of the artist’s gestures along the way, a crack is opened to perceive public life united to the notion of intimacy, coexisting with the perception that there is much in movement, between a bit of asphalt and a bit of sky.

Piece Length 60 min (aprox.)

Espaço da Penha | Day 16 | 19h30

plucking the dog’s teeth is a performative program in conversation that hopes to slow impulses, postpone ends, not know with.

This conversation is guided by choosing invitation cards that will beckon to the trails to the wild that appears with the twilight.

This is an opening of a research process in creation supported by geography poetics, migratory dramaturgies, and perspectives that summon imagination, dreams, and sensoriality as ways to experience an encounter with the land. This study gathers:

• The developing concept of “word-closing,” word as a space of dwelling and displacement;
• The presence of the work while we are “still” in the process of creation;
• The paths between the phatic and the phallic, crossed by a pedagogy of questioning in the invention of worlds.

Leonardo Shamah along with Ves Liberta and Carolina Canteli.

Sweets and Emotions is a piece in four parts about different dramatic possibilities, artificiality, manipulation, fakeness, lies, clichés, and the banal desire to be a star. Through the accumulation of content, we attempt to deal with the illusions and seduction of images. We use tools such as video, text/narration, games, scores, and cinematographic universes to play with a hyper-stimulated world. It’s a soap opera, a film noir (a b side), a music video, a talk show, a 4D film, an experimental performance, a tiktok, and a commercial on the tv in your grandparent’s house. Our process, founded on trust and mutual consent between each other, allowed us to direct and to be directed going beyond the notion of care.

Chloé Saffores (FR), dances, improvises, performs, writes. With a BA in Psychology and a MA in Improvisation (dir. Alice Godfroy), her research focused on the diffraction of authorship in Real Time Composition of João Fiadeiro. In her choreographic work she plays with elements of experimental dances, theater, singing. She currently investigates relations and decision-making processes in collective practices, games with rules to read, write, de/compose together, compositions without authors.

Francisco Thiago Cavalcanti (BR), is a dancer, a performance and theater artist from Ceará and master’s in Education in the line of research Inclusion, Ethics and Interculturality. He began his practice in the arts at the age of nine and today at 37 can say that he had beautiful meetings and works with artists like Lia Rodrigues, with whom he collaborated for 7 years, and also: Luana Bezerra, Sílvia Moura, Márcio Abreu, João Fiadeiro, Denise Fraga, Dani Lima, Clara Kutner among others. Nowadays, nomadic, develops his work alone and with temporary partnerships.

Leonor Lopes (PT) is an artist/performer. Between 2017 and 2019 she attended the ESD, Lisbon, and, in 2019, the UiS, Norway. In 2020-under the YEP program-she created the piece velã with Ves Liberta and Leonor Mendes, which explores the randomness, insistence and nuances of interruption. Recently, she started a project with the work of the artist Leonora Carrington, from which experiments (or potions) CARRINGTON #1 and #2 have already been carried out, with co-creation by other artists. Leonor is also drafting the project self I e, which consists of a collection of self-portraits between 2015 and now.

FRESH is a choreographic study developed from an interest in working with materialities and their latent dramaturgies. Plastic is the raw material with which the performers create a virtual landscape simulator, where mountains and plains take turns in a constant sliding topography. In this universe, body and plastic blur the boundaries between the ideal of “fake” and “natural” until a new organism emerges from this collision.

Creation and Performance Giovanna Monteiro, Nazário Díaz and Roberto Dagô

Collaboration Bárbara Cordeiro and Nicole Gomes

Giovanna Monteiro (Brazil, 1994) is an actress and performer. Giovanna graduated in Scenic Arts at the University of São Paulo and studied theater at the Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema de Lisboa. In 2017, together with other artists, Giovanna founded the Comitê Escondido Johann Fatzer, a collective based in São Paulo, and has been working in the collective’s work as creator and performer. As a performer, she has participated in several creations, most notably: “Terra Tu Pátria” and “Antígona Sonora” by Comitê Escondido, “Iracema Fala” by Nuno Ramos and “Os Fuzis da Senhora Carrar” by Maria Thaís, and “Marcha à ré” by Teatro da Vertigem. She currently lives in Lisbon to attend PACAP 5 at Forum Dança and has been working on the creation of her first solo project “Tudo que que”.

Nazario Díaz (Andalusia, Spain) develops his work mainly in the performative arts, focusing on the tension generated between body, gaze and writing. In recent years, he has participated in several collective learning contexts (Máster en Práctica Escénica y Cultura Visual, Madrid / 2016-2017; PICA, Azala-Vitoria / 2018-2019; Invitación, Bilbao / 2019-2020) that exchange methodologies and tools from dance and living arts. He currently resides between Lisbon and Bilbao, and develops the projects Conversation pieces, together with the Basque choreographer Isaak Erdoiza, and Otro borrado a través de la insistencia, within the framework of the Advanced Program of Creation in Performative Arts, curated by João Fiadeiro for Forum Dança / Lisbon.

Roberto Dagô (Brazil, 1990) is a performer and choreographer. His works articulate body, image, and politics as pillars of creation and research in solo and collective projects and in territories contaminated by practices, languages and materialities. Dagô graduated in Visual Arts at the University of Brasília (Brazil) and studied Scenography at the Technical University of Lisbon (Portugal). Awarded with the IdEX-Initiatives d’Exellence (Programme “Investissements d’avenir”), he completed a master’s degree Création Artistique / Arts de la scène at the Université Grenoble Alpes (France), in the practice-based-research modality.
