Queer Art Lab is a safe place for experimentation, creation, art exhibitions and intervention in the LGBTQIA+ community. It brings two artists to Pedra Dura for a week’s residence in Lagos, where they will carry out their research and will then present their work. Andrei Bessa will perform his Pra não caber no mundo, a talk-performance in which the artist calls on desire and eroticism to reveal the other bodies in his body.

Andrei Bessa (Fortaleza, 1987) is a performer, a dramaturg and a professor, from Fortaleza, northeast Brazil. Master in Arts (UFC - Brazil). Graduated in Performing Arts (IFCE - Brazil). In 2021 he moves to Lisbon to study at Forum Dança. With focus on dramaturgy in progress, his work has emphasis in performance and in theater, with creations that entangle dance, literature and audiovisual. Currently he investigates his fat body as a material for artistic expansion and expression. In this perspective, his recent obsession is the fable of the mystical creature unicorn-bear.
