About

This play arises from the confrontation of the research tools and choreographic composition by Sofia Dias and Vítor Roriz with the bodies and sensibilities of Companhia Maior’s artists. A play that begins with an appeal to experimentation, which is nothing more than an attempt to encounter what we have not mastered or puts us in a zone of conflict, risk and even bankruptcy. It seems to us that it is in this place, between what is mastered and what is unknown, that the body acquires the quality of the present – a transparency that allows to see its way of acting and thinking O lugar do canto está vazio is a game of alternations between the abstract and the figurative, the recognisable and the strange, the individual and the collective, the biographical and the fictional. A composition of sound scores, gestures that are linked with words, brief narratives interrupted by movements and objects that give rise to voices.
