Cratera is a performing arts project being developed by André Braga and Cláudia Figueiredo around volcanic landscapes, with the island of Fogo in Cape Verde as an important place of research. The project will be seen in Sismògraf 2024, but along the way we wanted to share a 1st approach, in the form of an installation. The debate on the Anthropocene brought attention to other scales and temporalities. Following the proposals of Geopoetics and other authors who bring the discussions of ecological issues to a more micro level, linked to the subjects, their sensibility and imagination, Cratera seeks to look for intense experiences of connection with the earth, that claim other forms of language and lucidity. We are interested in the reinterpretation of Gaia, where meaty, vegetable and mineral materials are perceived not as inert things, but as living forces working around us and within us.

 

André Braga & Cláudia Figueiredo are the artistic directors of CiRcoLando – Central Elétrica, a creation and residencies center based in Porto (Portugal) that develops activity in the area of disciplinary crossovers, with a focus on performing arts.Working in the frontier space characterizes the path of this duo of artists, building a unique language based on the concept of transdisciplinarity. An intense dialogue between dance and theatre, with a strong appeal to contributions from other fields of creation: poetry, plastic arts, music and video. Body-archive, memory, eco-thinking, geopoetics, landscape, post-colonization, southern views are the topics that have been occupying us recently.

They are a company committed to reusing and recycling production materials, paper consumption and sustainable mobility.
