O Paraíso são os Outros
A text about the most beautiful way to connect: love.
It seemed to me that the space should inevitably be shared between the audience and the performers.
Being together, discovering together.
The importance of the spectator/accomplice being able to choose their place and their point of view on the show. The attempt to horizontalise and enable a place of comfort and fluid reflection.
The constellations of mobiles appear as an analogy of the physical or mental world.
The importance of affection and dependence on each other in all forms and origins, of the fragility of their balance, but when achieved, it generates movement and harmony.
A place to be present and contemplate.
It was the first show in which I was in charge of the visual design of the poster, set and costumes.
