Sessões Esgotadas

Following an avant-premiere at Teatro Nacional D. Maria II during the 2021 Alkantara Festival, Atlas da Boca by Gaya de Medeiros will premiere this summer at Espaço Alkantara.


In Atlas of the Mouth, two trans bodies investigate the mouth as a place of many intersections: words, identity, and voice; public and private; eroticism and politics. The performance seeks to contribute new narratives, exploring entries that are created from the mouth out and understood from the mouth in.


Join us for a conversation with the artists and invited guests after each performance (in Portuguese).

DÓIDÓIDÓI, diálogo entre a calma e o caos de Labaq .


Depois de seu último lançamento, Larissa emerge com DÓIDÓIDÓI, uma canção desenhada com o seu já familiar pop-br-flertando-com-experimental. O que traz de novo após o gap de silêncio fica claro logo nos primeiros segundos, os jogos com espaços e linguagens foram pensados para expor suas vivências e perspectivas de artista inquiete, com acidez e inventividade envoltas em violões sampleados e voz doce.


“Falar de dor dançando um pop estranho”, era a idéia. Antagonismos e ironias em toda a extensão do projeto, Labaq acolhe sua alma DIY como forma de mergulho ainda mais profundo em si, “ao conceber, dirigir e produzir existe uma conexão diferente com a obra, é uma entrega intensa a que eu experimenta hoje com o seu trabalho.” Reafirma-se ao encontrar em beats e poesia a cura das saudades e dores, são instantes de fúria e leveza que traduzem o single, num resumo dos últimos anos como artista não binarie e imigrante em Portugal desde 2020.
