SUPPORT Self Mistake
#PRECÁRIAS is a performance festival with a “modus operandi” focused on “poverty”. Precariousness is also thought material for contemporary art.
The festival will also count with the participation of other artists in an affective curatorship. Each day a group will add to the program with a performance of up to 30 minutes. The idea here is to open up the queer artists’ scene in Lisbon, to share space to rethink the future. The artists Keyla Brasil, Lava, and the duo Véu, composed of Zaya and Yune, are invited to the festival.
After the show Exercise for Mediocre Performers, presented in November 2021 at Rua das Gaivotas 6, the author returns to work on the idea of exercise rather than spectacle or even de-spectacle in a series of three operations:
1-Exercise for a poor theater or letter to Grotowski*
2- DJ SET to eradicate poverty*
3- Submissive whore of contemporary art in recycling processes*
# po-bre-za |ê| feminine name
1. The state or quality of being poor.
2. Lack of the necessities of life; scarcity, indigence, penury.
3. The class of the poor.
4. Small number, little abundance.

UNKOWN BODY
(permanent installation)
“Open scene
Dresses curtain
Spectacle body
Wonder Woman swimsuit”.
CORPA INCÓGNITA (UNKOWN BODY): a photographic de-installation produced from the processes of signification | crossings of a resistant and dissident corps that destabilizes identity dichotomies. How does one map the body beyond the standards of “natural binary perfecting”?

EXERCISE FOR A POOR THEATER OR LETTER TO GROTOWSKI
Inspired by the text “in search of a poor theater” by Jerzy Grotowski, the actress now goes in search of the bottom of the well, of the soul, of the body, the cursed and blessed essence of just being. We don’t need much, just what is necessary. We need everything. Performance to remind me that I am body. Art doesn’t save, it salivates.

PUSSY IN FLAMES
It’s not about performance, it’s not about art, it’s not about shit at all… just a fucked up transvestite… who has nothing in this fucking life except her pussy that catches fire… by the way, she doesn’t even have a pussy because transvestites don’t have pussies, transvestites have dicks… it doesn’t matter if she has a pussy dick because she is not a man nor a woman, she is a transvestite. What will happen then? Nothing will happen, only a transvestite who has no home, no documents, no name on papers, so what is left for her? That is what is left for all… the street where transvestites go… that is nothing new… a transvestite from the square with her ass, dick and pussy on fire fighting for life… screaming for existence…

SUBMISSIVE WHORE OF CONTEMPORARY ART IN RECYCLING PROCESSES
In times of crisis, it is important to recycle, reduce, and reuse. The world is over. Thinking of reusing leftovers, the performer in this exercise makes a survey of scenes from her old shows. When a gun comes on stage she has to shoot. Gender Identity: Tired.

♡ VÉU ♡
XAU
VÉU is Zaya and Yunne in a cleansing exercise of two confidant friends and life colleagues, lost, found in each other’s delusions, possessed by the ephemerality of dreams and the precariousness of reality like a stain of scrutiny on their outfits.
Chained by the lights of the seagulls they create new cleaning programs:
Nr29 desperation for attention; Nr 69 exhibitionism;
No. 88 ephemerality;
Re 25 folklore;
Dr 77 Bohemia;
…and many others.
Xau A new formula repaired.

♡ LAVA ♡
MAGMA OF POWER
It is known that during a volcanic eruption the magma that emerges from the surface of the crust is called lava. The fire, the energy within the self is from birth and one day the water that almost put it out proceeded from a fatal cry. This performance will explore the relationship between these elements, lava and water, the nature that carries everything, and the world-capital to which this body is inserted. A letter of introduction to those who have never seen this flame lit.

DJSET TO ERRADICATE POVERTY
Dj set – The performer brings in a hybrid set references that stir the soul and collective memory essentially of the poor queer Brazilian culture. Songs from the artist’s personal trajectory and references that form her / #que tem ref tem tudo…
The lack of finish here is seen as sophistication, questioning everything that was considered perfect should be reviewed. Travesti music, and travesti is all there is.
