LOBA is a multidisciplinary solo born from the desire to explore women's narratives as they journey into adulthood, embracing themes of sexuality, fantasy, and transformation. It is a performance that draws from the
power of imagery, symbols, and memories. In the video, we see a body dancing in a forest and racing against a wolf.
On stage, this same body is meticulously preparing to dance. Sensuality is pursued without fear of the grotesque. Eventually, reality merges with fiction, and only then, in a surreal lucid dream shrouded in fog, the she-wolf is born, and she kills the wolf.

In an online conference, André Lepécki contextualised the process that leads to the disappearance of the body. We were in the midst of a pandemic and, under those circumstances, this disappearance was also literal. As technology reshapes today's societies, the human body gradually fades into the background, overshadowed by the processes inherent to our interconnected world. The vertigo induced by the structures of life in the digital age, strongly influenced by attention capitalism, is as inevitable as the technology-driven changes, stemming from the dematerialization of many fundamental aspects of existence, reshaping our societies.
In the torrent of an exposed, increasingly fragmented life, with fragile bonds and managed from a distance, the body carves out its own space by asserting itself as a vessel for listening—a poetic gesture that seeks to offer protection to us all.

“Variações sobre o tempo dos jacarandás" (Variations on the season of the jacaranda trees) is the first collaboration between Yaw Tembe and Sofia Dinger. The piece revolves around a dialogue with the image of a
tree observed through a window and is structured into two distinct seasons: in the first, presented this autumn, the tree devoid of blossoms.
“Variações…” draws its inspiration from an old song that talks about doors, hearts, people passing by, houses. A song that has the words: Simply and Love. A woman sings for a long time. The sound of the trumpet sounds like something eerie. The flowers are indecisive.

Evocation of the artistic and cinematic expression of 1960s and 1970s’ public television in Italy. It is the early age of public broadcasting, during which cinema also questions its relation to reality and video art emerges as an experimental answer. The character, a young female viewer, committed to exploring and trying out a new medium, carries us through time. Blurring the lines between document and creation, the film places the viewer between the early age period of television and the period of time she spends in the room, between memory and imagination, utopia and experimentation.
