There once was a time when there was no universe and Qfwfq fell eternally through the void together with the desirable Úrsula H'x and Lieutenant Fenimore. They both fell in parallel trajectories and maybe they could meet in the infinite, if geometry wasn't also a product of human thought... An adventure made up of love, intrigue and seduction, modelled around La forma dello spazio, a short story that integrates Italo Calvino's Le cosmicomiche.
To tell this story, Andresa Soares, Lígia Soares and Alexandra Sargento created a scenic device akin to a puppet show that, just like Calvino's writing, explores scientific premises and fantasy, desire and reason. Created for an age of discoveries, with humour and mystery, it's profoundly allegoric towards life and relationships.
At the end of the show, the audience will be invited to try the device and create small pieces containing a scientific, poetic and performing vision.
