Lead
Director and performer of the solo, premiered at Teatro do Bairro Alto in Lisbon in 2022. Call Me Three Times is a solo that plays with the edges of image construction, the body, and projection on stage. It’s an exploration of the body's performance through images, the technical production of these images, and the materiality that goes into creating poetic experiences.
