june 11

Perfil Perdido [ Lost Profile ], a constantly mutating play, was created by Marco Martins in close collaboration with Beatriz Batarda and Romeu Runa, bodies worked as ever-unfolding, ever-changing memory repositories. Exploring the parents-children relationship, that arena where what is tameable and what is indomitable clash, Perfil Perdido deals with those issues of gender and affiliation, perception and conditioning, inherent to such experiences. Marco Martins pursues an inquest into representational forms by interweaving a variety of languages, references and speculations. Where do we belong? What is fiction and what is reality?
