Alkantara Festival Performance

Saturday 28 November – Sunday 29 November

MAAT, Lisbon

Brief Introduction Alkantara Festival Performance 'Prato Feito' by Tita Maravilha and 'REPARA' by Vânia Doutel Vaz As part of the exhibition 'Turn around. A look at the Fundação EDP Art Collection' A humorous invitation to see from other perspectives, between the plate of beans with rice, potato and salad and the camouflage of flowers that does not hide, reveals. At the invitation of MAAT, Alkantara presents a program of performances in dialogue with works from the exhibition Turn around. A look at the Fundação EDP Art Collection. For this program we challenged two artists to create new performances: Tita Maravilha and Vânia Doutel Vaz, performer artists who use humor in a very particular way: to seduce, to unsettle, to create expectation or divert us from the expected, to create situations and unexpected encounters. These are provocations we find in the new performances they created, Prato Feito by Tita Maravilha and REPARA by Vânia Doutel Vaz, which they present simultaneously. Here we also find what makes them unique and absolutely distinct: the excess, the exaggeration and the desire to tell stories of Tita Maravilha but also the minimalism, restraint and sophisticated irony of Vânia Doutel Vaz. Together, in this encounter, they invite us to multiply our gazes on the works in the exhibition and to notice what makes us human.
