“I am your performance” is an exercise of accumulation and permanence in which a body is offered as material to be intervened by eight people from different fields of living arts, visual and performative, eight ways and perspectives of using matter body, to outline it to give it meaning.

Around the five hours that the experience lasts, each facilitator will have a certain time to do a test with Haidar.

The axis is the body, its use, the decisions that are made, how they are put in tension with each activation and the possible translations to materialize an imaginary in an event.

It is about, the rest, of “a practice on the encounter, communication and ways of composing with one another through a set of perspectives and methodologies applied in real time on the same subject that is the performer”, the organizers explained.

The facilitators will be Ariel Farace, Anthony Villa, Camila Malenchini, Diego Velazquez, Gustavo Tarrío, Marina de Caro, Mayra Bonard and Nayla Pose.

Haidar uses her house as a laboratory, a production space where he also exhibits. His research on the relationship between the body and technology translates his work into various hybrid formats, between performance and video-art. From the 2020 coordinates the Vil Theater Cultural Center, together with Constanza Copello and from the 2015 is part of the Re-Al Company led by Joao Fiadeiro, from Lisbon, Portugal.
