Through a set of ropes, a group of performers activates the abstract lines of a lived landscape, entwining the ideas present in the modernist architecture of Brasilia with the intricate and unusual outlines of Brazilian geography. Between the fabulation of the utopian
architecture of Brasilia and the volumes of the natural world, the line becomes the connecting thread linking the traces, compartments and paths of this choreographic journey.
Part of the collection Covered by the Sky, Landscape in Line is inspired by a landscape experience of choreographer Luciana Lara, aiming to transfer the artist's spatial poetics to the gallery space. Through the relationship between line and volume, drawing meets imagination in the invention of a shared space, where the horizon intersects with the vertex of things.
Conceived by Brazilian choreographer Gustavo Ciríaco, the collection Covered by the Sky is the first in a series of interactive installations and performances inspired by the distinct landscape experiences of South American and Portuguese artists. Spurred by curiosity about how artists perceive and express the world through space, as well as the intersection between art, space and poetic signature, Ciríaco embarks on a journey of discovery through the spatial poetics of these creators and their unique ways of becoming mirrors of the world.
