Mafalda Mendonça

The simple three-dimensional shapes that are revealed through the bodies are the basis of the scenographic conception for this performance.

A synthesis of places was made, in a single space. The various contexts of the action are built from the confrontation between the abstract and the authentic: the thickness, dimension, volume and color of the objects are asserted, which derive from the materials used, in a harmonious coexistence with the contained and intense design.

The gaze is guided by movement, which leads it to discover a forest of senses, tangent to reality, which thickens and fades. The memory of things and places is deconstructed in order to re-imagine and reconfigure empathies.

The landscape is abstract, discreet in its neutrality of a raw canvas that lets this unique story be painted over itself, in a shade of bright red.

I gave shape to condensed and potential spaces, waiting for their existence to be completed by the bodies of the dancers.
