"MAN-MAN"

WED 16 / SEPTEMBER / 21:30 SMALL AUDITORIUM M/12 | 45 MIN. | €4 /€3 / THEATRE CARD "MAN-MAN" by TIAGO MIGUEL Palcos Instáveis / Segunda Casa The Vila Real native Tiago Miguel was born in the year the Teatro de Vila Real was inaugurated. He now presents his first solo piece in the theatre of the city that saw him born. MAN-MAN transports the audience into the intimate and ordinary setting of MAN-MAN, the character who inhabits the stage and his body in the same way: dressing, undressing and redressing. It is in undressing that the fictional character finds a kind of liberation, subjecting himself to layers of identity that, once revealed, can be constantly undone. Between each strip, the body reinvents itself. Sometimes it wants very much to seize the opportunity to live in its body. Other times it wants to escape it. A cycle that survives with the promise of return to paradise, the moment of cleansing of identities, lusts and false egos. Segunda Casa is its dissemination programme for a set of choreographic works, initially developed and presented within the scope of the Palcos Instáveis/1as Obras cycle, in partnership with Teatro Municipal do Porto. It aims to contribute to the valorisation, visibility and recognition of creators and to encourage decentralised programming of contemporary dance. Tiago Miguel (Portugal, 2004) is a performer, interpreter and creator with interest in different languages that communicate visually such as costume, scenography, object and exposure, having as its basis, in everything he dedicates himself to, the body and improvisation. He completed a course in interpretation at Academia Contemporânea do Espetáculo do Porto and attended FAÍCC – Formação Avançada em Interpretação e Criação Coreográfica, as well as FOCAR – Formação Orientada em Coreografia para Arquitetura da Instável, both at Instável – Centro Coreográfico.
