Blueprint

  • Queer Spaces
  • Counter-architecture
  • Space vs. Place

Blueprint is a contemporary dance piece that marks the second collaboration between Juliana Fernandes and Victor Gomes as co-creators and performers, based on the investigation and materialization of the following concepts: Queer spaces; Renaming reality; Reconstructing reality; Counter-architecture; Neutral/null space; Body as space; Space; Repurposing; Exhibition/display/installation; Space vs. place; Place; Non-place.

BLUEPRINT seeks to trigger new ways of perceiving these themes, leading the audience to question the reasons behind the intrinsic and often dogmatic conventions attached to them, namely the dichotomy established between the concepts of space and place.
