About

The Circolando company celebrates its 20 years, a round and mature age. With 20.20, André Braga and Cláudia Figueiredo want to acknowledge the date and reflect on an itinerary, but in a way that casts clues unto the future. With a route made of cycles and ruptures, this moment is also intended as a new beginning. Drawing inspiration from the concept of archives - body developed by Adré Lepecki, 20.20 takes its starting.point from a set of documental materials - text, movements, research subjects - in order to, without a shred of nostalgia or revivalism, "find yet unexplored creative fields with new possibilities". What is at stake is the invention of new lives and forms for these new materials, working in the shadow areas of memory, closely related with the dream, in the past-present-future mix. From the whirling exercise of the past, one wants to get to "a floating cloud of affections", a misty landscape from which bodies, dispersed voices, pulsating materials that claim new existences emergence. In 20.20, the experience of artistic creation is celebrated and shared as a laboratory, ruled by a desire for challenge and innovation that remains as restless as ever.
