Marta Ramos & Sara Zita

This August, Marta Ramos and Sara Zita Correia are working at Espaço Alkantara on a new performance, as part of our Summer Hours programme.

ZIMA is Marta and Sara together, searching for the exteriorisation of their volatile, unstable, dreamlike ways of being. This project began almost by accident, with an amateur musical improvisation, with voice and percussion. With backgrounds in dance, performance and design, this was a space of freedom from their supposed talents. ZIMA became a real project. Marta and Sara come together to experiment with musical instruments, voice, (their) poetry… With a naive and minimalist approach, almost light, but that gains other dimensions and symbolic layers. They imagine ZIMA as a multidisciplinary being, containing everything that they consider might speak well for them. ZIMA are the sound and visual episodes of a journey into the interior and the unknown, with natural desastres along the way, human and personal, but where, despite imminent danger, ZIMA survives.
