"The Torn Screen" is the second part of the trilogy that began in 2024 with the piece Despite the Evidence. This work was developed in dialogue with the musician and visual artist Pedro Tudela. The audience is invited to enter a visual and sound device that exists autonomously as an installation, but which unfolds choreographically through the actions of two performers. Evoking states of consciousness such as dream, delirium, or alienation, the space is populated by intricate affective architectures. The performers engage in games of fictionalized anatomies, obsessive bodily states, and processes that involve the body in the disjunction between image and language. The bodies are emptied of intentions, assuming themselves as mediators, projection surfaces, or interfaces between imagination, experience, and thought.

Following Público e Multidão in 2023, Joclécio Azevedo brings us his new creation. It raises questions that intersect with the theme of fimp’25 and, at the same time, cause it to overflow (in its dates and) the limits of the program's disciplinary structure.
