The audiovisual project directed by Pedro Sena Nunes and featuring choreography and performance by Alicia Soto will be exhibited at the 32nd Almada Dance Fortnight at the Instituto Cervantes in Lisbon on October 3 at 6 p.m.
This film is a dialogue between the body, music and space through movement. It is a choreographic fiction that explores a woman's memories in a space that was hers. Playing with ambiguity, it embodies a performative repertoire through a journey where imagination and reality overlap. The body explores the fear of the unknown, generating discomfort and curiosity. The intensity of the movements makes the woman face her own paroxysm.
