Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Passenger at Home” is a multimedia and multi-disciplinary performance in four acts inspired by the concepts of “home” and “voyage”. The project is directed by the US multidisciplinary artist Maile Colbert and his produced by Binaural\/Nodar.<\/p>\n

The narrative is a partially fictionalized and personalized account of the Maritime History of Portugal, enacted by dance, vocal performance, live video, live electronic sound and composition, and more. The text, or \u201clyrics\u201d, of the project are developed by the director with poet Ian Colbert and are based on various texts related to the concept of diaspora, which will be readapted to form a fictionalized and abstract story that will be used to give signals to the performers on their tasks within the performance. The dramaturgy of the project is conceived by Rui Catal\u00e3o and the composition of these tasks will be developed with the American choreographer Wanda Gala. The structure of the choreography will be based on the research made by Wanda Gala and Maile Colbert and it will be affected by the interaction between the vocal performer, live sound and video and electronics, which will create a holistic composition.<\/p>\n

This workshop\/residency will focus on exercises using a “task-based” choreographic method and its final result will be used for the public presentations of the “Passenger at Home” project, namely those to be presented in Portugal in a site-specific setting (monumental spaces or spaces related to the Portuguese history or culture). The participants of the workshop will have the opportunity to be part of the group of performers of the said presentations.<\/p>\n
