Human life unfolds itself between two infinite giants: before and after. Two undifferentiated and obscure zones that José Miguel Vitorino and Patrícia Couveiro are seeking to break - as Marguerite Yourcenar said: these “frontiers of nothingness and silence” - and in the meantime looking out for what really allows us to see ourselves completely naked, regardless the century or era.
Through a interdisciplinary crossing between Archeology, Ecology, History and Performing Arts, Perpetual Strangers is an embranchment: the remains of the past that awaken the imagination to tell our story, the intimacy of the other and the history of which we are now part of, allowing us to imagine the traces of the future, our future. We will have to choose the materials of the ruin: stone or plastic, but the destination is the same - to decode temporality and brake its silence.
