Vera Mantero

Curso de Silêncio

In oPorto there is a club, Imperatriz, where everything is permitted. A moment in which all intersect in the dark night.

This film follows the process of creating Eating Your Heart Out. This work of art presented at São Paulo Biennal of Arts in 2004, was the first collaboration between the Portuguese artists Rui Chafes (sculptor) and Vera Mantero (choreographer and dancer). The result is a huge iron sculpture where the dancer performs a mysterious play, suspended in the air, with paintings all over her body.

Three performances by portuguese dancer and choreographer Vera Mantero.
