BERLIM, 1997

Cão Solteiro & João Estevens

Berlim, 1997 is the result of an invitation extended to João Estevens to create a first collaborative work, based on shared strategies such as the intersection of theatrical language with other artistic and technological lexicons.

It is an experimental and dissonant artistic object. It stems from a possibility of transformation and dematerialization, rejecting the conventional limits of fiction. It plays with altering the spatiotemporal reality of the room and the figures through the construction of images, movement, light, the systematic aggregation and disaggregation of different elements, and the real-time electronic exploration of sound.
