The silence of the night pulls out the knot in my chest. There's a twisted part of me, made up of error, rambling and storms. I abandon myself to the disorientation of stimuli, deafening sounds and blinding lights. In the middle of this sea, I come up for air and look up at the starry sky, searching for the continuous light that is Saturn, that anchor of my security, and I imagine looking for you everywhere, discovering in you the key that frees me from this cycle of loss and addiction.

Actos e Omissões is a solo performance, blending text, photography, music, video and light, in an experience best described as an immersive film. Through a non-linear narrative, a coming-of-age story of love and loss is punctuated with reflexions on existence and death, the possibility of intimacy or the voidness of sex. The text is told in several voices but only one performer is present. The audiovisual transitions are sharp and cutthroat. The technical apparatus enhances an intimate telling of connection and rupture, of loss and addiction.
