The cells of a former prison in Lagos in the Algarve, opened today for the presentation of performance "
Globalfornication" by Portuguese artists, and the choreography "In Jail", where the Brazilian Thiane Labrador will dance from the bars of the jail. In The Jail is a work of dance theater and that is the result of a residence of six weeks at the Laboratory for Creative Activities (
LAC). "In Jail" starts in cell number 5 with the artist perched on the railings of a small window of the former prison in Lagos - where now, ironically, the artists express their creative freedom. The search for "In Jail" started from the idea as "marketing is incisive" and how people today can buy everything, whether silicone body, car, husband, makeup, clothes. Based in marketing, magazines, color pink, glamorous brands or formulas of happiness and standardized, the artist did a survey of movements within the limited space of the cell and built a choreography that shows the world of standardized culture masses. Also in the LAC, , but in another cell of the former prison in Lagos, Andrea Innocent, 33, and Ana Maria, 50, will reveal "Globalfornication," a performance with several video installations where the two artists reveal the result of one month artist residency in the city of Lagos. Andrea Innocent, dressed in sumptuous black lace pinned to the head in a hat and shoes very high, and Anna Mary, the immaculate white dress holding a watering can green lettuce to serve as a "pochette" are awakened by the most varied curiosities where they developed their art project. The duo of "Globalfornication" communicates through clothing, so people who saw the performance on the street, they might interpret and reflect individually on what it would mean that event in Lagos.
