This is an idea that arose from the desire to bring together these long-time companions, a partnership of two performers who have worked together before on various projects, including "solo para 2 intérpretes #1 e #2", by Sílvia Real and Sérgio Pelágio (2002); Miguel Pereira's "Data/Local" (2002), in which Sílvia Real was a performer together with Miguel Pereira and António Tagliarini, and Filipa Francisco's "Espiões" (2016), in which they were both co-creative performers together with Francisco Camacho, among other more experimental projects. Now they've found the right moment to get together again, this time in a co-authored project.
"Delirium, also known as delusional disorder, is the alteration of thought content in which there are no hallucinations or changes in language, but in which the person strongly believes in an unreal idea, even when it has already been proven not to be true." Source: www.tuasaude.com
"One of the points that unites our two artistic and creative universes is their delusional constitution, transforming the real into something that verges on the absurd. It is in this place/play of taking a given and transforming it into its opposite that we explore our performative languages. It is in this porous and powerful territory that we intend to build our relationship/collaboration and explore new meanings within the meanings that conventions and rules give us."
