SIMULACRO

Carminda Soares + Margarida Montenÿ

Mercado Municipal de Amarante

“Simulacro” is an exercise in intimacy, repetition, and resistance. Two bodies in continuous action explore the limits of their proximity through the degenerative nature of gesture. A diffuse space is created between the real and the staged, between the public and the private, enhancing states of vulnerability, expectation, and tension. 

“Simulacro” stems from a set of actions and gestures present in the daily lives of the two performers, interwoven with fragments of shared memories, in a slow exercise of transforming bodies and their impulses.

“"Like aftershocks of an earthquake passing through each body, the repetitive and synchronized movements (both with the music and between the two performers) amplify moments of tension "And resistance, but also poetry and vulnerability."”

“"It's an exercise carried out to exhaustion through repetition; a type of exercise that gives us back..." to the senses and to our humanity, when the body continually responds to movement, But breathing reveals the effort required to sustain it.”

“"A performance clear in its intention and unsettling in its execution, SIMULACRO can be adapted to numerous unconventional scenarios and spaces.”

— Maria Palma Teixeira, Les Corps Dansants
