Warehouses, streets, houses, theaters, life. My friend Toscano has taught me the importance of constantly (every day) being in contact with the public. A positive way to “banalize” the relationship and that presence.
What would it be like if we were on stage (various spaces) every day of the year? What transformations would occur in our bodies?
This year I will try to make that place of experience, even to the point of vomiting or screaming, my place. Live (online, studio, kitchen, theater, bathroom). From the time of 150 shows a year (at Bando) to the half-dozen of today, there is a tremendous gap. Stage artists spend more time watching other shows than performing them (only Mondays were free). We have entered the time of artist-spectators. Moving minds and bodies according to new principles.

New Version (House and Street) premieres next week in collaboration with writer Cláudia R. Sampaio (2022)
We premiered the play “On the Street” in 2006. The ball was blue. Project created in partnership with my father – Jorge Moreira – and built by “Leonel and Bicho”. It was blue. It was a sphere. A theatre for one performer and one spectator (Rebeca Horn). It was a reaction to not having many places to present our work. We built our own theatre. In collaboration with the writer José Luis Peixoto. In 2009 we were invited by Giacomo to increase the number of spheres (4, two red and two blue) and we made “On the Futurist Street” with texts by Marinetti. In 2010 we went to Gijon, Spain, at the invitation of Mateo Feijoo, and presented the same version with the intervention of the artist YELLA.
In 2012 José Bastos programmed us for the European Capital of Culture (and that’s where this long love affair with the city of Guimarães grew) and there were six spheres (the green and orange ones were born). We collaborated again with José Luis Peixoto.
In 2015 we went to Serralves, at Serralves in Festa, at the invitation of Cristina Grande and presented a longer version in which several performers took turns. A year later, in a similar version at the Teatro Nacional D. Maria II at the invitation of Tiago Rodrigues.
Next week we begin the experience of doing “On the Street” and “at home”. A reaction to current times with the support of the Lisbon City Council.
Many stories, many places in these years. Here is just a description of the moments in which the creation has changed over these 14 years.
The balls were inhabited by incredible performers, first by my sister Sandra Rosado. Then by Carlos António, Felix Lozano, Sofia Pimentão, Catarina Félix, Vania Rovisco, Diana Coelho, Sophie Lesso, Raquel André, Joana Manaçãs, Flavio Rodrigues, Tânia Diniz, André Marques, Bruno Senune, Marta Silva, Pedro Ramos, Tiago Viera, Mara Andrade, Catarina Requeijo, Carolina Faria (I apologize for any omissions).
