SUMMARY:Tebas Land
DESCRIPTION:A playwright interviews a parricide on a basketball court inside a prison. The playwright invites the parricide to play himself in a theatre piece. When the prison authorities prevent the parricide from telling his own story on stage\, the playwright brings in an actor to play him. \nThe staging has the peculiarity that both the character of the parricide and the actor who plays him are performed by the same actor. At the same time\, the character of the playwright tells the story on two narrative levels: the prison where the fiction unfolds and the theatre where the fiction is staged\, using this device to bring the myth of Oedipus into contemporary theatre. \nIn this play of mirrors and multiple narrative layers\, Tebas Land takes the figure of the Western myth of Oedipus to question the boundary between reality and fiction. The play offers a poetic debate to highlight one of the central themes of contemporary theatre: the conflict between Presentation and Representation. \nTebas Land is the first work of the South American Trilogy\, a project by Argentine director Rubén Sabbadini\, which seeks to translate and stage central texts of contemporary Latin American theatre. \nRubén Sabbadini\, as both author and director\, has had a long career in Portugal\, having presented his work at the Almada and FITEI Festivals\, among others. His most renowned works – Um Disfarce Magnífico\, Um Fêmeo and 88 coisos de um minuto – were published in Portugal by Dois Dias Edições. Sergio Blanco\, Uruguayan-French playwright\, is one of the most frequently staged Latin American authors today and has received awards in several countries across America and Europe. \n  \nOn November 15\, there will be a post-show talk with the audience.

SUMMARY:Autofiction: The Dissolution of the Self by Sergio Blanco
DESCRIPTION:Autofiction: The Dissolution of the Self is a seminar coordinated\, structured\, and directed by Sergio Blanco\, focusing on the theme of autofiction in the performing arts and on the multiple challenges\, risks\, and questions that the act of speaking oneself on stage entails and provokes. \nThe seminar takes as its object of study the theme of scenic autofiction and its various modes of execution — from self-representation to autobiography\, encompassing self-figuration\, self-narration\, self-reference\, self-embodiment\, and self-report. \nIs it possible to self-represent on stage? Or\, more daringly: is it possible to speak oneself on stage\, when our theatrical pact obliges us anthropologically — that is\, ethically and aesthetically — not to be ourselves? \n  \nThis seminar takes place on the occasion of the presentation of the play Tebas Land\, by Sergio Blanco\, directed by Rubén Sabbadini\, from 13 to and 16 November\, in the Black Box.

SUMMARY:Small Scales\, Great Ambitions: Beggining as Method
DESCRIPTION:Avenida 211 was a unique self-managed artistic project in Portugal. Although it ceased activity in 2014\, it was from this project that Kunsthalle Lissabon emerged in 2009\, initially occupying the exterior of the building on Rua Rosa Araújo before moving shortly afterwards to the first floor of no. 211 on Avenida da Liberdade. \nFounded at a time when there was little systematic reflection in Lisbon or Portugal on the role and scope of art institutions\, Kunsthalle Lissabon was able to develop a landmark exhibition programme\, establish a distinctive international network of collaborations\, and generate knowledge around alternative institutional models that could be collectively imagined and built—all thanks to the support of Avenida 211. From the outset\, values such as sociability\, generosity\, and friendship formed the core of its institutional thinking and practice\, foregrounding an ethics of responsibility and care for what we do\, how and with whom we do it\, and for whom we do it. At a time when the term “institution” was almost exclusively associated with large museums or art centres\, Kunsthalle positioned itself as a small-scale institution with far-reaching ambitions. \nIn this context\, so distant from today’s logic of “real-estate-ocracy\,” what did it mean\, after all\, to create an institution from scratch? What were its aims\, its challenges\, and its possibilities at the end of the first decade of the 21st century? And what did the landscape of small art institutions in Lisbon look like at that time? \nThis conversation revisits that period and\, in dialogue with two kindred projects (Maumaus and Old School)\, reflects on the continuities and differences between what was at stake then and today. It also seeks to understand why the current political\, economic\, and social context seems to make the emergence of new small-scale institutional projects—such as those that arose at the time—less likely\, while opening a space for reflection on the past\, present\, and future of independent art institutions in Lisbon. \n  \nParticipants: João Mourão and Luís Silva (Kunsthalle Lissabon)\, Jürgen Bock (Maumaus)\, Susana Pomba (Old School) \n  \n  \nConversation in the context of the exhibition Avenida 211: An Artists’ Space in Lisbon. \n  \n
