DESADORMECER
Alice, Arminda, Ferreira, and Fontinha share the same home with a few dozen other people. They unravel their stories, which are captured and transcribed through images, sound, and the presence of their fragile bodies. As their memories are awakened, an ecology of aging is explored, informed by the lines that connect past, present, and future. Accompanied by accordionists, kites, and barn owls, the inhabitants of this home reinvent their narratives, shaped by what they are still able to do and what they can no longer do.

Desadormecer is a performance installation in the form of a guided journey through an outdoor natural space and a more exhibition-like indoor space. The show uses objects and multimedia elements to immerse the audience in a universe that bridges the past, present, and potential futures of an elderly population and the mountainous region they inhabit. The work specifically focuses on the dichotomies of isolation/community and confinement/freedom, while also touching on themes such as memory, protection, healing, and autonomy.
