Sílvia Real
Vácuo [Vacuum]
Sometimes I write poems but I quickly destroy them.
This show is my attempt to "write" through dance, music and the reconstruction of a space.
Vácuo [Vacuum] stemmed from experimenting over two years with the idea of subtraction. Subtracting as much as one can and seeing what happens.
Again solo. Accompanied by the soundtrack composed by my daughter Sofia. A journey for two voices that "intends to touch the small, the immediate, the infinitesimal infinity that the eyes contemplate, right there, within arm’s reach".*
