The Love of Alcibiades - at Centro de Artes de Coimbra




The Love of Alcibiades, 2012
16 mm, 4:3, color, magnetic sound, 8'13''(excerpt)


The Love of Alcibiades presents a monologue read at the top of Floresta da Tijuca, in Rio de Janeiro. The monologue is an adaptation of Plato´s Alcibiades made in collaboration with Gustavo Ciríaco. The monologue deals with the question of emancipation in the context of youth, the moment of transition from childhood to adult life. The result is a monologue read by an actor where voice over and direct voice overlap. This is a dialectical play with one voice, in which consciousness and action cycle.

"The objective of the practice of the self is to free the self, by making it to coincide with a nature which has never had the opportunity to manifest itself in it." (Michel Foucault,The hermeneutics of the subject, p. 531)

About Me

My photo
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Rio de Janeiro. I am a performing artist and art maker coming from dance. I love to dialogue with the historical, material and affective context we are immersed in any given situation. As art form, my work goes from multimedia stage conceptual work to convivial and open-air pieces. It strikes me the awareness and fictions arising from the sublime of daily situations, its materiality, the reference points that we cling to and build up our relation to reality and how meaning grows from this. contacts: gustavociriaco@gmail.com | marine@elclimamola.com
