Research created under the Antecipar o Futuro program, an initiative of Teatro Nacional D. Maria II, with the support of NTT DATA and in partnership with O Espaço do Tempo.
COSMIC PHASE/STAGE is a show where the theatrical space or placemaking is inhabited by humans and non-humans, who move in an alternative and necessarily speculative post-digital world. The constant change of the referential subject of the action requires spectators/visitors to adjust their interaction and communicate their own dynamics throughout the artistic proposal.
Cosmic phase/stage merges the separation between the space of performance and installation, becoming a place of utopia and philosophy, which seeks reflection on the relationship between art and technology.
In this gathering, we propose the opening of a theoretical and creative process, in order to understand in a collective way the moments of sharing and interaction, whereby it can be activated.
ANA LIBÓRIO
Non-binary, transdiciplinary performer and artist working in Berlin and Lisbon. Graduated in Theatre (ESTC) and Master in Philosophy (FLUL), Ana is currently studying Dance in Berlin (DanceWorks). In their work Ana questions the hybrid body as choreographic-digital representativity in an intermodal performance practice, thus widening the range of performance practice as a strategy of socio-political-digital engagement (survival strategies). Their most recent works are “Capturing|you| Fictional Politics of Movement” (Rua das Gaivotas 6, 2021) and “Tragic, this is so tragic” (Uferstudios, 2022).
BRUNO JOSÉ SILVA
Visual artist. Bruno has a degree in Architecture (FAUL) and in Photography (HÉLICE Merit Grant in Complete Photography Training). Based on his background in architecture, he uses this training as a motto for research and construction of new projects, which may acquire different formats – installation, video, photography – always seeking to question the status of the image, its use and the mechanisms of its production. Bruno exhibits regularly in institutions, galleries and artist-run-spaces. He collaborates with the theater company Plataforma285, for which he develops scenography and photography and, in performance, he collaborates with Ana Libório. Winner of the Keep It Brian Award (Balaclava Noir, 2021) and finalist of the Young Creators Award (IPDJ, 2021).
JOÃO ESTEVENS
Creator, performer and researcher. João has degrees in Social Sciences, Performing Arts and Visual Studies, and is completing his PhD. In his artistic practice, he values hybrid formats, crossing performing arts and visual arts. João is part of the Rabbit Hole collective since its foundation, a structure where he has strengthened his collaborative practices. His most recent works are the editorial coordination of the book “Performing Arts and Digital Culture” (Mountain & Rabbit Hole, 2021) and the transmedia performance “C:>how2become (data) & dissolve_into: ‘tears'” (TBA, 2022).
