PERTO

Creation 2021

PREMIERE
20-22 August 2021
Valve Cultural Centre – Oulu, Finland

PERTO is the Portuguese word for ‘near’, ‘close’. It is the conceptual starting point for a transdisciplinary performance which experiments with the potentials of real time video imagery on scenic spaces.

Transforming the meanings of the actions on stage by the simple manipulation of images in an imaginary space, Perto explores technologically mediated relationships and how different modes of communication can intertwine, interact or speak to each other.

Combining contemporary circus, video art, dance and physical theatre, blurring boundaries between ‘virtual’ and ‘real, PERTO creates a complex network of interactions between different universes and the performers themselves.

Through a collection of several tableaux, or short stories, 5 performers share the stage exploring different aspects of our lives and roles in a technologically mediated society.
