This performance is a sort of living organism that encapsulates the performers.
The performers stroll through Lisbon on a day trip, that is both visual and verbal. They engage in small talk and share memories through which they create an archeology of what they mean to one another.
But alongside (or within) the small talk, the bodies project a collective imaginary space where each body area is a potential docking point, of gaps, of visible or invisible spaces, suggesting
events outside those bodies, or even creating a third body: a body of bodies. As bodies ignite, the spoken word opens up to unpredictability. On one hand, it becomes vulnerable to a state where gestures are disarranged, forming a certain incongruous maladjustment. On the other hand, the gestures' activity over the spoken word can paradoxically reveal not a division or cut, but a symbiotic relation between them. As movement and body meet, the spoken word can make the perceptible imperceptible, allowing us to mentally see things in front of us, to conjecture and to create new meanings. The body's action encounters multiple ways of organizing itself that throb the small talk, giving visibility no tjust to the sociological dimension but mainly to the performance's existential, absurd, tragic-comic dimensions, that we sustain in everyday life, in our most trivial daily life. The body opens cracks in the words allowing us to dive into the abysses, the furies, the monsters, the silences, the dark holes, the utopias and dystopias that resonate within these dialogues that seem to say that everything is alright.
This piece has no beginning and no end. One person dialogues. Three people dialogue. Infinite entities dialogue.

Henrique Furtado Vieira
Graduated in energy and environmental engineering, currently a dancer, performer and choreographer, Henrique Furtado Vieira lives in Lisbon. He carried out his artistic training in several French institutions (INSA Lyon, Extensions – CDC Toulouse, Prototype II and Dialogues III – Royaumont abbey). He develops his artistic practice mainly between choreographic creation and collaboration as a performer with various artists such as Bleuène Madelaine, Eric Languet, Aurélien Richard, Céline Cartillier, Tino Sehgal, Salomé Lamas, Ana Renata Polónia, André Uerba, Sofia Dias & Vítor Roriz, Vera Mantero, Boris Charmatz e Tania Soubry. From time to time, he dedicates himself to research, pedagogy and writing in relation to dance, in different contexts and through multiple partnerships (O Rumo do Fumo, Unlock Dancing Plaza, Ballet Contemporâneo do Norte, festival END, Comédias do Minho...), and more recently he has been involved as a dramaturg in the choreographies of Nicolas Hubert (Compagnie Épiderme) and Giulia Arduca (Compagnie Ke Kosa). His works are often created in synergy with other artists such as Bibi Ha Bibi, with Aloun Marchal, or Stand still you ever-moving spheres of heaven, with Chiara Taviani. In his shows / performances, the overlapping of styles and genres, the vocal presence in dance and the space(s) of imagination have a prominent place. He has collaborated and presented his work in institutions such as Aerowaves, CDC Toulouse,
Göteborg Theater and Dance Festival, Roma Europa Festival, DNA Network, Porto Municipal Theater, Temps d’Image Festival, Espaço do Tempo, CCB, among others.
