synopsis
“Sinto Muito” is a sentimental exposition that takes form as a performance that aims to achieve the exposure of a contrast throughout the work, creating an environment in constant change. It is dedicated to questioning, both as a creator and as a spectator, what is the interference of the words tradition, pathos, beauty, reflection and comfort in the creative process and final product of a performance. How desirable they are, how essential, how much searched by the external eye and supported by institutions. Fluctuating between euphoria and stillness, we welcome the questioning about artistic perception and what are our limits and expectations towards art.
