delirium, deviations

Carolina Canteli (BR), Leonardo Shamah (BR) and Ves Liberta (PT)

Espaço da Penha | 15 and 16 of April

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.

In a steam.
Carry mineral cuddles in the bones, paws and teeth.
I lay in the middle of the street; everything surrounds me inside of us.
Chest hair breaks and create cocoons.

plucking the dog’s teeth

Leonardo Shamah (BR)

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.
