Artistic residency integrated in the YEP - Young Emergin Performers program, in partnership with Rua das Gaivotas6.

1 – Prepare your body for fear and danger
2 – Choose the right tools
3 – Stay discreet
4 – Study the surroundings
5 – Calculate the timing
6 – Find the best disguise
7 – Secure escape routes
8 – Decipher suspicious signs
9 – React and improvise
10 – Avoid being intercepted

It could be the recipe for a heist.
Instead, it is the daily routine of someone who must constantly protect their own existence.
Through this parallel, the performance exposes the brutality of having to think like an aggressor in order to avoid becoming a victim.

Matilde Cancelliere (she/her). Porto. 2002. She graduated in theater in ACE and, later, in ESTC. She currently balances her time between plays, working in customer service, doing voice-over work and creating videos for educational platforms, and assisting in self-defence classes. She has an interest in creation and directing and is currently in the process of developing future projects. Her work explores metaphor and parallelism as mechanisms for stimulating critical thinking, as well as the relationship between physicality and text definitions that are vague enough for her to continue exploring, yet concrete enough to point a direction. The rest, fortunately, remains to be discovered.
