“False Friends” is the new project by Miguel Pereira
co-created with the Catalan choreographer Guillem Mont de Palol. Using the
concept “false friends” as a starting point, words with similar spelling or
pronunciation, but which sometimes have totally different meanings. Miguel and
Guillem try to build a relation of false semantic friendship, positioning
themselves in a space of contrast between what is similar and what is
different, between them and reality itself, creating an absurd, delirious and
fun speech using words, gesture and objects.
