synopsis

portuguese performer and choreographer joão fiadeiro is organizing an archive that is over 30 years old and crosses his work in contemporary dance with the history of the lisbon studio he is about to vacate. in a few days, joão will be dancing for seven uninterrupted hours in a last performance before the final closing of the atelier re.al.

process

as the sound effects designer for this experimental documentary, my work aimed to create a sense of timelessness and degradation in the audio recordings. i treated all the recordings from the 2019 closing event as archival footage, distorting and degrading them in order to convey the sense of time passing and the importance of preserving history. at the same time, i aimed to create an eternal quality to the audio, highlighting the significance of the artistic atelier and its role in contemporary dance.
