BREVE ÚLTIMA MEMÓRIA
SARA CARINHAS
Designed in response to the challenge of the Family Film Project, this will be a performance-revisitation of the show Última Memória (premiered in 2023 and currently on tour), twisting its core into a brief encounter. A reading that is also a rehearsal. Once again, the doubts, once again the construction of another piece, almost as if the original show had never existed. To shorten life or shorten the story is to frame it in a way that always leaves things out. Everything re-invented once again. Where does the tiniest matryoshka doll of us remain if we lose frames of our life? What construction remains of who we are? What image? What figure is that, with nothing left to hold on to?
