Synopsis

MOONLIGHT focuses on poetic spaces, intuitive architectures and morphing bodies; a staged exploration of boundless meanings, a malleable queer reality. Working within it, MOONLIGHT wants to cultivate a stage micro-culture where statuses, labels and understandings grow or ingrown into something(s) else.

A poetic space is a room where dispersion of meaning can exist. A place that boils our perception of reality. Poetic spaces as queer thinking, the perpetual work to restructure patriarchal, individualist and capital culture and society.

They work and play with poetic spaces through intuitive architecture. Understanding intuitive architecture as the creation of a moving invisible space, created by movement that is formed temporarily and ruled by a non-consequential rational logic.

A morphing body is capable to redefine itself along its performance. Their interest relays on the study of the “hows” one can escape the solidification of its own identity and the identity of what is being produced; and a deeper understanding around systems that offer the entitlement to negotiate our identity, (the identity of the doer and the doing).

Throughout MOONLIGHT they confront issues related to gender constructions, sexuality, patriarchy and stereotyped references.

MOONLIGHT creation has occurred, mainly, through short residencies and public presentations of work in progress. These initiations have taken place at Weld, Stockholm; Teatro Victoria, Tenerife and DNK Theater, Sofia. MOONLIGHT production period has taken place in Kino Kultura, space for contemporary performing arts and culture, Skopje, co-produced by Lokomotiva, center for new initiatives in arts and culture, and Garage Collective.
