Ana (Portugal), Mariana (Portugal) and Márcio (Brazil) are three performers and choreographers whose paths move between visual arts, dance and design, but also cleaning jobs, bars, nightclubs, endless commutes and precarious contracts. Between rehearsals, cafés, translations and cleaning work, they sustain the often invisible labour that keeps daily life and artistic structures running.

Periféricas is more than a performance; it is an ongoing process and a reflection on precarity, care and survival. It inhabits kitchens, public transport, supermarkets and rehearsal rooms ⎯ spaces where subsistence and creation intersect. By exposing the limits of artistic and social life, it reveals the tensions between centre and margin, visibility and invisibility, dehumanisation and the desire for equity. A collective act that transforms survival routines into artistic gestures, Periféricas denounces systemic unsustainability while proposing a possible map of justice, awareness and belonging among the human, more-than-human and non-human worlds.
