Can the
body be an oracle? Can the show be an oracle? This is a hypothetical exercise
that – more than searching for answers – listens, watches, reads, interprets
signals and symbols in order to create possibilities. It confronts us in the
here-and-now with the moment of an action, suspending our obsession with the
future. It also confronts us with a permanent questioning, a restlessness and
the incessant searching in each of us.
The
darkness of the theatre becomes the medium for illuminating something less
visible and more occult, and the theatrical experience can thus reveal itself
as a real and transformational perspective.
‘Oracle’
invites us to come together and practice other forms of clairvoyance.

Sara Anjo is a dancer and choreographer
interested in meditative practices that generate psycho-physical changes,
particularly breathing and walking. She permanently questions herself about:
what moves us? How do we move? To where are we moving? She is interested in
proposals that activate a sonic theatre, where choreography and the
performative space are explored through soundscape. She devised "Nobody
would know how to tell that story", "Liquid Landscapes”, "Shaped
as a Tree", "Sacrum" and "Islands - a constellation".
She cocreated "Walking", from Teatro do Silêncio. She collaborated
with Teresa Silva in "Oracle" and with Michelle Moura in "Here
we are in this little step". Now she is developing “Traces - scores for
breathing, walking and being still”. She develops performances for young
audiences, where she explores the relation between figurative and abstract
imagination. She created and interpreted "In Search of Ballerina
Feet", "Everything in the World began with a yes”, "Stars Wash
your Feet". She published the book "Dancing Dot", with which she
develops workshops and staged readings.
