Solo Performing Arts
Sinto muito
Cine-Teatro Garrett, Sala Principal (Main Room)
Synopsis
Sinto muito is a sentimental exhibition that aims to question, both as a creator and as a spectator, the interference of the words virtuosity, emotion, beauty and comfort in a creation process and in its final product. How desirable are they, how immediate, how conscious to the creator and how sought after by the outside eye, how supported by institutions, how quickly categorized. In a mature contrast, one travels to the deep love of the declaration and also to the deep regret of eternal absence.
Session with post-show conversation and presentation of the book-archive “Sinto muito”, com Joana Couto e Leo Calvino.
