The fifth edition of the Linha de Fuga Festival, with the theme “Performativity of Friendship,” ended last Wednesday, December 3.

It was a very intense month of programming, and I had the privilege of photographically documenting the entire event, and I want to share the best moments with you.

"Linha de Fuga is a contemporary dance festival, but it is also a space for critical reflection on society, striving to build community spaces and relationships with the territory, between audiences, artists, and partners.

Many of the shows scheduled also consider friendship to be necessary for the construction of spaces of resistance," according to information provided by the organization of which I am a technical member.

Eu acho super desafiante o trabalho que os fotógrafos conseguem fazer, quando se trata de eventos performativos. A fotografia não veicula apenas uma forma de comunicação, mas acrescenta uma camada extra de importância, visto que tem que transmitir a quem não esteve presente quando a acção que decorreu, e que não se repetirá, toda a energia e sentido!

Muito parabéns pelo teu trabalho, que eu tenho a certeza que é mais do que reconhecido

Bom fim de semana, amigo!

Muito obrigado pela suas palavras motivadoras.

Quando se faz o que se gosta o envolvimento gera a tal camada extra que referiu.

Aproveito para lhe desejar um bom fim-de-semana.
