FEEDBACK | 8 November 2025, Blackbox, Torres Novas
André Braga & Cláudia Figueiredo
8 November 2025, 9:30pm | Blackbox, Torres Novas
A pile of rocks, a microphone and a smoke machine. The sound. The breath. A confession.
“What can a body do?”
What body is this that we have been chasing? What manifest body have we been trying to articulate?
We are looking for new grammars of sensitivity, of the wild intelligence of bodies, of the earth’s ground body that reflects ancestral and unknown memories.
“The body has geometry and shapes that no one hears”.
The sound captured and manipulated live was the chosen track to focus the research. Sound as an invisible element that stirs the inside and the outside, dissolving boundaries and drawing spaces with air.
Feedback searches for the meeting point the confessional memories and topics from a search board with keywords that we’ve been mapping. The air, the listening, the microperception, the reversal of the skin, the archive-body. In “Feedback” we work within the tension between the ancestral and technology, between landscape and autobiography.
At the beginning of next month, Feedback, with its subtlety and depth, travels to Torres Novas for a performance scheduled for November 8th at 9:30 PM in the Black Box. Discover the full program and ticket information here!
