On the scene, a character for two interpreters who are invoking memories, fears and insecurities, in deaf dialogue to each other. Interior and exterior, fall and jump, private and public, all wrapped in lullaby. On the scene two bodies that don’t get enough of trying. Two bodies that know that sometimes you have to re-learn to live, and until you re-learn to breath.

“In this residence I started an investigation into the emotional and social conflicts of juvenile motherhood. I had, as a starting point, my case and I went to meet young women who find themselves managing the situation of being pregnant or having been mothers recently. In common, in the initiated interview process, the physiological state — pre- or postpartum — and a devastating emotional and social precarity. It was my intention to call for the creation of this work interpreters that had been mothers, so they could also share their experience. In collaboration with Israel Pimenta, and undressed from rigid, conceptual or formal structures, we privileged a frank opening to the pieces of life that were shared with us. We chose to work with only Elisabeth Lambeck, in an accomplice process, of who knows that only with delicate hands you can touch something so fragile. During this stage, here presented,, we ended up exploring the temporal range between the discovery of being pregnant and the birth of the child. Long months of deep physical transformation, revolted in a whirlwind of events and emotions. The first time we emerged from diving into these interviews, we decided to work with precarious, unstable, fragile and volatile materials, in both the set design and choreographic research” (Mafalda Deville)
