in collaboration with Margarida Montenÿ
“Simulacro” is an exercise around intimacy, repetition, and resistance. Two bodies in continuous exertion explore the limits of their proximity and the degenerative nature of the gesture. A diffuse space emerges between the real and the fictional, between the public and the private, heightening the conditions for vulnerability, expectation, and tension. “Simulacro” derives from a collection of actions and gestures present in the close relationship between the two performers, crossed by vestiges of shared memories, in a slow process of transformation of the bodies and their pulses.
