Water dripping day by day. A group of performers work from the innards of the museum. The walls are the borders that produce auras, that legitimize or exclude, selecting that which has a right to attention, yours, ours. This is our site of intervention. With our bodies, we invest a vibration in and together and through the walls, we seek a breach. To let go. Make flow. Make move. Make a mess of the aura, with our nuisances. With our in/digestion. What affects and what is affected? What is the weight of structure, a code of conduct? What are our margins for action?
Over the course of nine sessions, we will practice the deformation and reorganization of bodies through surface to surface, innards to innards contact, insisting in caring/carrying and subtlety/intensity as strategies to move what had been stagnant. To wear the hardest stone away.

Marina Dubia (1992, São Paulo; 2018, Copenhagen) is a vagabond artist, finicky writer and choreographer in process. She has studied Fine Arts at University of São Paulo (2010-15), Performative Arts at Forum Dança, Lisbon (2020), and Conceptual and Contextual Practices at the MFA Program of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (2018-21). Her works are poetic gestures for transitional spaces, institutions and people; that seek destabilization of ordinary perceptive routes, inquisitive observation and to untangle bodies from narrative and language
