With this performance, Sofia Dias and Vítor Roriz take off in search of the magical quality that emerges from the friction between sound and image. Can an image trick our perception about the provenance of a sound? Or can a sound lie to us about its origin?
A play that, just like children, allows itself to jump from one thing to another, changing between the concrete and the abstract, nor in raising questions that are simultaneously metaphysical, ontological, aesthetical, banal and, almost always, unpredictable.
Sofia Dias & Vítor Roriz are a duo of artists collaborating since 2006. The hybrid nature of their research, combined with a desire for experimentation, led them to create several performances, soundtracks, videos, podcasts and installations, crossing different contexts and blurring boundaries between artistic areas.
Their works summon up a particular choreographic language in relation to text and voice and have been presented in over 17 countries.
In 2023 and 2024 they are Resident Artists at the Champalimaud Foundation, where they develop interdisciplinary research processes, in synergy with researchers from the Champalimaud Center for the Unknown.
