Daniel Pizamiglio & Romain Beltrão Teule

As part of their residency for Weather Forecast at Espaço Alkantara, Daniel Pizamiglio and Romain Beltrão Teule invite audiences into the studio for an open rehearsal on June 19.

Two persons facing the unknown.
Two persons searching in their memories, their futures (predicting? not predicting?)
Two persons in research, creating impossible situations. Situations that are contradictory, transitional. Spaces in between.
Two persons talking, remembering that once they were children. That they are children.
Two memories remembering. Listening to other memories and other voices they remember.
Two persons that are not just two persons.
I’m one person, I’m nobody.
« My name is nobody » = « mon nom est personne ». Personne (in French) is a homonym that can mean person or nobody.
And this chair, who is it?
This is nobody.
And you?
I’m chair, and you’re table.
And where are we?
We are several people in a space. A space made by various people-things.

Previsão do Tempo is an essay on the passage of time, about letting the unknown enter in to our lives. The piece is a paradox, a space where each fear and incomprehension transforms itself into a playful, sometimes childish, game.
