More or Less, but Less than More (work-in-progress)

by Vera Mantero & Guests, 2013

the theatre as a temple? temple of feeling and thinking? therefore we have to be barefoot to get in.
inside we can pass through clay, through words, through sounds, through gestures, through masks and senses.

to have a body that opens to these elements, which gets from them food and energy.
a body sensitive to Less (and to the less sensitive).
body that unaccumulate, that disarms, that spreads, that pulverizes.
body shameless of being an animal.

one maybe pray to take from the temple, for everyday at raising: the world is not a commodity, the body is not a commodity, the time is not a commodity, the sound is not a commodity, the skin is not a commodity, the light is not a commodity, the enthusiasm is not a commodity, the understanding is not a commodity, the movement is not a commodity, the dirtiness is not a commodity, the tenderness is not a commodity, the energy is not a commodity, the fainting is not a commodity, the look is not a commodity, the touch is not a commodity, the air is not a commodity, the embrace is not a commodity, the space is not a commodity, the sleep is not a commodity, the horniness is not a commodity, the colour is not a commodity, the money is also not a commodity. add a point to the list everyday.

Vera Mantero's guests, who bring to this event their work of music, sound, voice, improvisation, writing and eco-construction, are some members of CICS - Cultural and Sustainability Research Centre, and some artists inhabitants of Montemor-o-Novo that have participated at Baldio, and some actors, performers and musicians from Lisbon. to everyone profound gratitude.
