ONYX – Nem sequer um início
© TBA

ONYX is an oneiric ritual of vacuum and presence, the pause before chaos and chaos itself in the annulment of borders and the construction of metaphors between intervention and dream, loaded with silence, noise, non-linear information, weight and a fluctuation of time. We bring the street, the poetry of punchlines, bodies loaded into limbos of mantras and machines. We move in spirals calling ancestors and future beings. We hear the voices of those who brought us here, we talk between worlds, deities and illusions, about future memories of past times that are yet to be lived. The monsters that only exist in our heads come to tell us that the only certainty is absolute uncertainty. As if the body were not a boundary, as if history were not full of absences, with the certainty that imagination is absolutely essential. Revolution may truly lie in the ability to imagine. Before, during and after the action.

ONYX is divided into two parts that, despite being independent, are recommended to be experienced in their entirety.

(part 2)

No início nada existia

Militant performance

In a space of ritual resistance, eroticism, celebration, vulnerability and power, we start from a documentary and speculative universe where, based on personal stories and references, a dreamlike and political space is constructed. It is a time that does not exist, full of memories and a future where one wanders through migrations, dreams, loss, voices and future ancestry.

Observations

Nem sequer um início is a militant performance.
Nem sequer nada is poetry of chaos.
