WEDNESDAY 12 FEBRUARY, 21H30

Small Auditorium
Vera Mantero
The Caldeirão Highlanders, exercises in fictional anthropology

In this work from 2012, Vera Mantero focuses on the desertification and dehumanization of the Serra do Caldeirão mountain range in the Algarve.

The result is a dance performance that is populated by voices from afar. Mixing together her own video footage with the film collections of anthropologist Michel Giacometti, Vera Mantero takes a close look at traditional and rural life practices, knowledge of oral cultures from north to south, and also from other continents – such as the Indians of South America, mentioned by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro - in a broad portrait of the peoples who have wisdom about the connection between the body and spirit, between everyday life and art. A wisdom that we can (and should, for our own good) reactivate.
