Vera Mantero, choreographer, and Jonathan Uliel Saldanha, musician and visual artist, present at TBA a diptych composed of a performance and a film that explore the world of two enigmatic, sexless creatures. Created for the Avignon Festival in 2019, the piece Esplendour and Dysmorphia proposes a hybrid recital for two landscape-bodies animated by breath. A cluster that destroys and expands itself, disaster and anti-disaster in which acceleration, fungi and voice survive. Invisible splendours. Hyper-future and hyper-past. Between dysmorphia, the sun and flesh.

Premiering at TBA, The Breaking Point is a short fiction film that presents a liminal space where two bodybuilders find themselves trapped, with no windows or any discernible exit. Their actions include the creation of intricate labyrinths, physical exercise, celebrations, synchronised contemplation, breathing exercises and dance games. Within this parallel reality, however, they establish a series of familiar and identifiable events in an attempt to decipher their own existence.
