BAqUE - Contorno do gosto by Gaya de Medeiros 

Artistic Residency: 3 to 28 October 2022

Informal Public Presentation: 28 October 2022 at 6pm

BAqUE is a concert-performance and a celebration. In a ritual of affections and fables, a collective of trans people experience a utopia in which their bodies are the same and there is no more gender, nor any marker that differentiates them. A piece that seeks to bring new narratives about other possible ways of being in the world.
