LAVA (2016)
A project by Sara Manente & Marcos Simões
Created and performed by Sara Manente and Marcos Simões.
Musical advice: Christophe Albertijn.
Light design: Jonas Chéreau.
Advice: Agnes Quackels and Juan Dominguez.
Production: Cabra vzw.
Co-production: BUDA.
Support: Bains connective and Zsenne gallery.
“Lava has different composition, temperature, viscosity and behavior. It alters the environment, produces unexpected changes and informs. There is something uncontrollable, fearsome and at the same time attractive about it. It is one thing that can arrive everywhere. It appears as an eruption and then it expands and flows. It is a state and a matter.”
Manente and Simoes craft their own language sewing together different materials: textile, literary, graphic and choreographic. They create a space which functions like a rebus and has no center.
“For our new duo, we work with the ideas of the parallel, the idiotic and the third. Lava is a metaphor for “the third”, a thing that emerges in the in between. The parallel is a time. The idiotic is a mood.
We start with reading the tarots - so to predispose the audience to an excess of interpretation.”
