From the perception, in childhood, of a glass door where the outside world announced itself, to the challenges lived in front of a space sometimes too large and hostile, through the experiences of her dissolution and transformation of her body from rave parties and the plunge into the primordial moments of breathing and vision, the landscape for the Brazilian choreographer Michelle Moura is a gradual experience of conquest of space, a space in continuous entropy.
On the tennis court located in the heart of Serralves Park, v a s t i d ã o plays with the basic structure of diagonals to create an intricate kinetic game, where approximations and distances, additions and subtractions bring together the plan and the experience, the control and the empathy.
