Īḍā (working title)
Artist residency
Oct 31st to Nov 6th, 2022
Lafões Cult Lab (Vouzela)

Binaural Nodar starts a strategic partnership with the Self-Mistake project by hosting the artist residency “Īḍā”, with artistic direction by Filipe Baptista and co-creation and interpretation by Ana Silva, António Olaio, Beatriz Almeida, Filipe Baptista, João Pedro Fonseca, Mário Coelho and Teresa Manjua.

Several bodies are found inside a room. This space manifests a landscape that seeks to listen and to dialogue with whoever enters in it. This creation proposes a look at what it means to access a sacred space outside and/or inside us and about the persistent cyclicity of life that each body represents. It’s about cycles of destruction and creation, about meeting, about desires, about rituals and about transformation.

The artist residency at Binaural Nodar’s Lafões Cult Lab will be the first of the project, in which the first research of actions and body movements will be carried out, in an intimate relationship with the sonic concepts that will be built, which content, activation and manipulation will be intimately connected with the actions of the bodies-performers.

Self-Mistake promotes artistic creation, in a context of experimentation and risk, in the areas of dance and contemporary performance. It supports the development of artistic processes, as well as the sharing of creations in alternative contexts. By welcoming risk and innovation, Self-Mistake encourages the experience of error in artistic creation as a fundamental step towards transformation and transcendence.
