We invite artists, specialists and journalists to get together and to elaborate on the relevant topics of the times we are currently facing – or in other words, how does art make us reflect on the world and society, or in more words – how do artistic practices translate and are translated into the now.

In an edition that brings together numerous national artists, we decided to bring them together to talk about issues that have been concerning us, in a format that, by not talking directly about their works, makes them think about how their creations are inserted in expanded topics.

There will be 4 talks that will be held throughout the Festival, in a digital format and mark a beginning to question the future, through the present moment.

Talk #3: Hot bodies & clubbing: practices for a possible escape

With Jonas & Lander, Renan Martins, Lúcia Azevedo and moderated by Isilda Sanches

Body-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody

Ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody (Ah)

Body-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody

Ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody (Baow)

What room exists for escape nowadays? How do we practice the sensuality of sweaty bodies with a common beat, without speaking, only with the presence of the mass, of the collective? How do we transcend physical matter through fatigue? How are our bodies transformed in our homes and at home? What is the possible escape within corporeal boundaries? How does our skin become an insurmountable boundary?

Lúcia Azevedo – general manager of Lux nightclub, in Lisbon, talks to Jonas & Lander, whose premiering creation, Bate Fado, intends to reinterpret and recover the act of tapping (tap dancing) Fado, and to Renan Martins de Oliveira, who in Viaduto, is inspired by the concept of party and an organic union of each individual that forms a whole, in a talk moderated by the radio journalist Isilda Sanches.
