The EVC welcome Bárbara Cordeiro with "Estado de graça", a project to be presented as part of the 2025 Biennial Performative Arts Meeting – (Re)union. Organized by the cultural association Rede More, this is one of our partner festivals as part of this year's In Transit Program.
The expression "estado de graça" ["state of grace"] refers to someone who has gained another person's favor, and can also be used to describe the suppression of certain "negative" personality traits. This research is an attempt to contextualize the different characters within us, considering not only what they bring but also the narratives we construct when all we can see is a single frame. — Bárbara Cordeiro
