The theatre space is occupied by human and non-human operators. Although the references are recognisable, we try to make room for abstraction. We speculate about more or less rigorous ideas of automation, without chronology, meaning or fiction. COSMIC STAGE/PHASE is the result of a collaboration between artists from different disciplines, seeking to intersect languages in this performance. It presents a dramaturgical path that promotes a fusion between performative and installation assumptions, contributing to a reflection on art and technology.

Associação Cultural Arraial Cósmico was founded by a group of queer artists, in Lisbon, in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to mediate and articulate artistic fields dedicated to the production, curatorship and creation of artistic events/objects. Therefore, they dedicates its activity to the realization of theater and performance shows, debates, meetings and sharing of artistic practices with the general community.
The genesis is the promotion of transdisciplinary artistic expressions, dissident languages and aesthetics, thus valuing experimental artistic creation. The association includes a group of artists from various areas, from theatre, dance, performance, video, visual arts and cinema. It focuses on inclusiveness with regard to expressions of identity(ies), the elevation of the community(ies) where it operates, also looking to safeguard the rights of artists and researchers, supporting research work of real interest to the survey and enjoyment of cultural potential.
