NoIn this first moment of the festival edition – which started to be divided into two parts throughout the year – the new stages will be the Mercado do Rato, where “Este Peixe é um Robalo” premieres, the Teatro Ibérico, the Arpad Szenes Foundation – – Vieira da Silva, Espaço Casa Cheia and Damas Bar, the organization announced today.
“Actually, ‘bass’ is the common name of a type of sea perch fish, the Labraz perch, whose meat is very popular. This meat is delicious. The slower you fish, the more delicious the bass is. We eat so much. We don’t know almost nothing”, says the play’s synopsis.
The creation, dramaturgy and original idea is by António Alvarenga, with co-creation and interpretation by Cristóvão Cunha, also responsible for the lighting and technical direction, and the special participation of Sofia Dinger.
From the complete program released today for the first moment of the festival – which brings together nine works of theatre, dance, films and installation -, Jessica Guez will be present on May 27th and 28th, who brings to Portugal for the first time the performance “Looking from a window above”, to be presented at the Lisbon Arts Centre.
Between the exhibition and the show, “Looking from a window above” is inspired by the various places where the artist develops her practices – the bedroom, the studio and the stage – arising from “a very simple desire: to dance with her paintings “, indicates the schedule.
The concept, choreography and interpretation are by Jessica Guez, a French transdisciplinary artist and performer who dances with paintings, some of her own, and “appropriates art with her body and imagination”. The dramaturgy and artistic accompaniment are by Masa Tomsic and Bernardo Chatillon.
At the beginning of June, the festival brings to Lisbon three absolute premieres, between the 1st and 3rd: the collective Truta no Buraco presents the play “The dead have all the same feathers” at Damas Bar, which runs from the 2nd to 04; Teatro Ibérico hosts the play “Wild Flowers”, by Rui Neto, during that weekend, and it is also possible to explore the Alcântara valley through the performative route created by Joana Braga and Diogo Alvim, entitled “Os Passos em Volta”.
“Throughout the time of our human lives there is a point at which we clearly feel that the ground begins to pull, slowly, the body begins to gain weight. begging gravity for a truce”, indicates the text of “The dead all have the same feathers”, signed by Andreia Farinha.
While “for some this is how you find God, for others this is how you discover birds”, here lies the main idea of the show, conceived and staged by Andreia Farinha, João Melo, Anafaia Supico and Raphael Soares.
As for “The Wild Flowers”, also debuting, it is a pop-experimental project based on the play “Hamlet”, by William Shakespeare, which proposes to deconstruct the classic, pursuing a crossing of theater with video, and a research of the ‘space-character’ Hamlet.
Although anchored in the original text, “it is an original rewrite of the classic, based on the exploration of the body as a word for action, crossing the limits of spoken language and gender identity”, according to the production.
In this project by Rui Neto, based on Shakespeare, interpreters are Francisco Monteiro Lopes, Helena Caldeira and Miguel Amorim, and, on video, Luís Gaspar, Ricardo Raposo, São José Correia, André Leitão, Nuno Pinheiro and Telmo Ramalho.
A week later, the Momento I program continues with the installation “Seven days with the sea on my left”, by Francisca Manuel, open to the public between June 8th and 10th, at Rua das Gaivotas, 6, about a group of women which goes around Pico Island, the second largest in the Azores archipelago, on a long walk.
“During this journey and in an apocalyptic insular environment, the search for a lost figure is mixed with questions about their individual existences”, describes the synopsis of the work that was created, directed, written and produced by Francisca Manuel.
On Friday, June 9th, the films “Darktraces: on ghosts and spectral dances”, by Joana Castro and João Catarino, and “Proskenion”, by Eduardo Breda, will be screened at the Arpad Szenes Museum — Vieira da Silva.
The 21st edition of Temps D’Images will close this Momento I with the performance “1 Ano Antes”, by Luísa Fidalgo, to be presented on the 10th and 11th of June at Espaço Casa Cheia, a new partner of the event.
Temps d’Images – a multidisciplinary festival that marked two decades of activity in 2022 – is a production by DuplaCena/Horta Seca financed by the Directorate-General for Arts and the Lisbon City Council.
According to the organization, since the event began in 2003, it has presented more than 400 pieces, many of them unpublished, by Portuguese and foreign authors, in different formats and genres, including performance, theater, installation, cinema, dance, photography is music.
