Everything to Start Over!

The curators of the Brazilian representation have chosen to gather a collection of stories of an idealized space. These are stories about a space that has not been revealed or is not commonly seen by the viewer. A previous and imagined place. We admit and emphasize that our choice is no more than an attempt to establish an image of the state of the Brazilian performance design over the last four years. For this purpose, the curatorial proposal starts from the performance designer’s point of view in order to establish a multi-dimensional arena in which several voices cohabit a live kinetic territory. We investigated the existence of a primeval place; a space built and inhabited by the designer and the space that predates the creation of the scene’s space, in order to make visible the origins of the idea by sharing the Creative Confession – to unravel, when confessing, the invisible scenography that exists and predates the scenographic project, with an idealized and utopian space. We emphasize that “the problem isn‘t so much to find out how we have reached this point, but simply to recognize that we have reached it, that we are here. There isn‘t one space, a beautiful space, a beautiful space round about, a beautiful space all around us, there‘s a whole lot of small bits of space“.1 If the perception of the scene creators‘ subjective spaces is readable, the grouping of the works creates a space landscape. Visitors cohabit this space when they, too, possess it and are illuminated by these stories. We adopt the concept of landscape as presented by Lopes2. According to this concept, the landscape opens to a wide range of possibilities, it is understood as an object of knowledge and aesthetic contemplation; then as an object of consumption, the domain of intervention and human activities, “where elements of nature and culture, geography and history intersect; where the interior and the exterior, the individual and the group, the real and the symbolic, meet.”3 Thinking of the landscape in this way implies a positioning before the world. A landscape “amplifies to any space, always conceived as a place of conflict.”4 We intend to discover invisible scenography: that which influences us all deeply, especially including the one coming from the set designers; to go back to the project that signals their sites of authority. To study its place and thus emphasize its territorial function. In accordance with this perspective, we present a landscape which aims to reeducate us in delicacy, albeit aware of the helplessness. A space which embodies, in a geometrical manner, the everyday relationship between the states of weightlessness and the daydreaming of creative imagination.
