Note: Due to unexpected circumstances, this conversation will have the contribution of choreographer Luís Guerra, instead of professor José A. Bragança de Miranda as previously announced.
It never used to be necessary to judge things so rapidly. Faced with any event, we are now immediately required to put an ‘agree’ or ‘disagree’ stamp on it. It’s only either hell or heaven. But when exactly did we lose the time and place of purgatory? When did we stop having the ability to ponder, reflect and redeem ourselves? We have invited the artist, Silvana Ivaldi, to join the researcher, essayist and university professor, José Bragança de Miranda, for a conversation so that together we may ponder over this.

Daniel Matos, Joana Duarte and Tiago Mansilha

Luís Guerra (Lisbon, 1985) is a Lisbon artist driven by the search to produce and participate only in the works that he feels are timeless and beautiful. He expresses himself mainly through dance and drawing. He studied dance from a very young age and completed his artistic and academic training at the National Conservatory (Lisbon). In relation to his personal creative imagination, he studied choreography in a course organized by the Gulbenkian Foundation and started to sign his own works for the stage in 2005. At the same time, he has always worked regularly as a dancer, actor and performer for many other directors, maintaining a frequent participation in Tânia Carvalho's plays. For his role in one of the works of this choreographer, he was once considered one of the best dancers in the world in the same year. Beyond the world of performance, Luís also produces drawings with pen and pencil that clearly report his long-standing interest in urbanism, geography and the decorative arts.
