SYNOPSIS
He – She’s at home, full of another world than this one. She’s dirty. She’s never stopped looking at me. She is and carries a feverish energy. It disgusts me
She – He’s everything I invent. He comes from a time dragged out like a dead goat. What’s in him is rotten. Death cruelly prolongs it. In other words, I only invent him. A decomposing body that contaminates me. I’m disgusted.
Wanting to die comfortably in pain is a performance by Filipa Matta and Óscar Silva, created in the context of the multidisciplinary project “Rastro, Margem, Clarão”, which involves creators in the performing arts, visual arts and theoretical essay around the universe of Rui Nunes’ writing.
