Performance and Talk: Amélia Bentes e Vítor Garcia

Visible (AB/sence) aims to create a relationship between the various contributions in the creative, interpretive and research process, through the creation and presentation, in a mixed format between performance and communication in alternative spaces, of an artistic object.
The performance is entitled (IN)VISIBILITY.
It will be a physical study of the absence in the presence. Making visible something invisible is a great challenge for artists who transform their own bodies into subjects and objects of research. Creating interpretive vulnerability states to establish alterity connections with the audience. Questioning strategies and systematizing creation tools that enhance composition and interpretation processes in Dance.In the important role and characteristics of the relationships between creators and performers, the project will use and deepen the concepts of 'versatile body, 'available body', 'creator performer','research creator' and 'research teacher', concepts already consolidated incontemporary understanding of Dance.
