Solo Performing Arts
ZÉNITE: Quadros de um Grande Jogo Poético
Cine-Teatro Garrett, Sala de Actos (Exhibition Hall)
Synopsis
“ZÉNITE: Quadros de um Grande Jogo Poético” is an audiovisual project by Filipe Baptista composed of a series of thirteen videos, which can be seen as a gallery of moving pictures. In each painting we see a body-landscape, materialized by the figure of an interpreter. The movement of the bodies and the words that echo from them serve as raw material to paint, with image and sound, this set of small visual poems.
