Critical Practice
With Adriana Pavlova, Adriana Schneider, Alexandra Dumas, Anderson Feliciano, Carmen Luz, Julia Guimarães, Lucelia Sergio and Valmir Santos
Coordination Júlia Guimarães
Edition Ferdinando Martins
How to cause the reading of a written reflection with freedom drawing words in time?
How can we perform the criticism that crosses spaces of creation in a continuous program?
How to produce archives and create memories about the arts of the scene that can now establish futures, by awakening in those who read the desire to be present with and in the plays shown by MITsp?
In the program designed as Performative Criticism, we bring together research artists to act with the plays of MITsp’s program, establishing documents seeking to perform choreographies of thought, in which the plays appear collectively in research conversations, both in the way of writing reflective research and in the
way of reading the practice of critical writing.
Each artist-researcher person will share their journey through MITsp in a testimonial article, spotting impressions and expanding issues from the micro to the macro event of plural scenes that the festival proposes as a collective creative act with the city and its people.
Letters to be read online, written in the accumulation of those who perform in act their own body, lively covered by the issues the program presents. And summons!
