Lugar X - Celebrate

In Porto, the concrete place for the project was a vacant lot, a cork oak forest, in Azevedo, where illegal dumping of rubble is often carried out, seeking to reflect on the ecological impacts of the industry of construction. Part of the research was dedicated to investigating local and fictional practices of regeneration, not just of the land, but also of a certain sense of community. Following the methodology created during the year-long residency, the project offered a movement workshop that worked on fictional practices to regenerate a commonplace. Imagination, the body, and movement were the central tools for thinking, building and inventing practices of regeneration: of the land, the body, relationships, etc

The project culminated in a performance in public space, on October 5th and 6th, 2024, which consisted of a walk towards the earth and a collective meditation on the transformations that affect us.
