Oráculo

Can the body be an oracle?
This is a hypothetical exercise that listens, observes, reads, interprets signs and symbols in order to create possibilities, rather than seeking answers. It confronts us in the present with the moment of action and suspends the obsession with the future. The darkness of the theatre becomes the medium to illuminate something hidden and invisible and the theatrical experience can reveal itself to be a real and transformative perspective. Oráculo launches an invitation to practice other forms of clairvoyance together.

Sara Anjo and Teresa Silva
This is the first collaboration of the two dancers and choreographers Sara Anjo and Teresa Silva. Sara has worked the action of breathing and walking in detail, developing choreographic propositions that dialogue with sound architecture. It highlights her current collaborations with Flora Detráz, Michelle Moura and Teatro do Silêncio. Teresa highlights the collaborations with Filipe Pereira and Elizabete Francisca Santos, in terms of creation and as an interpreter, with Loïc Touzé. Transversal to her work is the reflection about time, the relationship between figure and background and the dialogue between dance and scenographic materials.
