Molière30 was a interdisciplinary site-sensitive project created in Curitiba, Paraná. The Grupo nômade was exploring concepts of fragility, femininity, and the self. The group explored theatrical spaces outside of the theatre, Vila Domitila, an area undergoing real estate speculation. More than 30 families were repossessed from their homes, upon requests from the state. The piece took place in one of these abandoned homes, and explore the land, human, and more than-human inhabitants of that space.

to conclude

This piece is one my dearest processes to date. It was fully emergent process, that started with a childhood list from the performer, Juliana Linconti titled “how to be a high maintenance girl”. It expanded from there. The piece, the group’s affections, and spatial borders grew, grew, and grew. The team followed it, conflict emerged, we dealt with. Some days better than others. It was in this process, that I started field noting as part of my process. Every day after the rehearsals, I would write a blog post to my mentor Amabilis de Jesus. It was in this process that I learned the clarity that writing my thoughts down brought me, and the importance of collaborating with a Amabilis, that read, heard, validated my experiences, and provoked solutions.
