one and three ways of touching something

2022
Collaboration with Bruno Levorin
Performance, 40 minutes
Espaço da Penha, Lisbon, Portugal
galpão comum, São Paulo, Brazil

In one and three ways to touch something, Sijben Rosa and Bruno Levorin share the question: how to make the absence tactile? They are taken by imagination and use it as a tool to sustain the conversation between the two of them and things. The work invites the audience to look at what is no longer there.

Concept, creation, direction, dramaturgy, and performance: Sijben Rosa and Bruno Levorin.

The choreographer and philosopher Bruno Levorin (he/him, Campinas, Brazil, 1985) occupies spaces with questions and produces systems to sustain these in time. His works are situated within dramaturgy and critical theory, producing, and choreography, and create meaning by saying and doing with attention and care.
