It is a triptych so that edges become visible and a floating core is possible. A triptych where the making of beauty is also the allusion of disaster. This ecstasy leads to the desire for contemplation, for the body, for existence through disaster. There is, thus, a desire that is reflected in an attempt to deprive the body of its movements, of its garments "to make it exist as pure flesh; it is an attempt to incarnate the body of the other" (Giorgio Agamben).
The Luso-Swiss dancer and choreographer Mélanie Ferreira joins actor and director Tiago Vieira and photographer and actor Bruno Simão to create Do Êxtase, a piece where the three bodies engage in verbal and corporal dialogue.
