BEAUTIFUL
estreia
BEAUTIFUL is a stage set for rebellion. Two performers — caught between being watched and watching themselves—grapple with power, presence, and untamed questions: Who is in control here? A pedestal stands horseless. Ghosts linger. Marching bands echo. Where power once stood, emptiness reigns. In the absence of authority, the stage becomes a battlefield for the absurd, where performance itself is the weapon. BEAUTIFUL is a tender exploration of liveness, collaboration, friendship and what it means to perform when everything — and nothing — is watching. Absurd and unapologetic: welcome to the riot. — Ana Rita Xavier & Daniel Conant
