Title Green Abyss or I never dreamt of it again | Piece Length 35 min
Espaço Alkantara | 1 and 2 July | 21h00
Synopsis
To look in reverse so to repair what has always been there despite the apparent invisibility. A matter of perception and sorcery. Something that embodies what is already in itself and beyond. The cure. The noise heals. The touch heals. The eyes see other things when they are squint. The body is not given and it is not obvious. It is image in action. Imagination. To imagine is to change. To move towards the future that presents itself as ruin. A recurring dream. Body that troubles death and disease in order to reactivate life. Tragedy. Curse. Spell. Care is caring and danger at the same time. Poison on the one hand, medicine on the other. A matter of measure.
