Changing the exhibition space of Rua das Gaivotas 6 to build a materially and sonically immersive installation, THE SUNLIGHT WILL BREAK THE PARTY creates an ambiance where one can experience a place of fragility or the failure of the regulatory and edifying structures of the world. As a stage where any kind of dance of the end of Time took place or still might happen, this exhibition will oscillate between regularity and sonic entropy, as well as between sensations of comfort and hesitation before the abyss, critically evaluating the entire kinetic utopia under which the movements of History, of the entire anthropological machine and of an idea of Progress advance, to affirm that we can do nothing against the forces and rhythms of the Earth.
