Fibra
Event
FIBRA has as its genesis the visual potential of costumes, adopting them as main character and the starting point for the scenic creation. The clothes-body epidermis emerges as the medium to explore the ambiguity and beauty of human emotions, linked with the notion of deformity and metamorphosis. Based on the limitations and adjustments between the wearable piece and a body, one finds pretexts to reflect upon what’s beautiful and ugly in a symbiotic relationship whose inherent concern is a more active sensory communication between matter, artist and viewer. When putting on the textile wrapping, the performer isolates himself from the outside. Smells, sounds and touch are heightened and, at the same time, concentrated, being dominated. That which is visible takes on a dance of countless identities. - Filipe Moreira & Lola Sousa
