2024 | Pais e Filhos

‘Authorship is always co-authorship,’ wrote Mario Bagioli. Although it is indeed my name in the signature, there are many thoughts that generate the content of the show, many ideas, birthed by many thinkers. It starts with a biographical fact: for three years now, my husband and I have been involved in a process of creating a new life, a process in which I leave my unique identity as a son, adding to it that of a father. And we’re doing it…

2024 | Vaxzevria Cantus

This colourful book (and black, and white) talks about the music that has survived, the music that has opposed the lethargy of lockdowns, that has overcome depression and fought back, that has been clandestine, the music that today, perhaps more than at other times in human history, is revolutionary.

It’s incredible how, in 2020 and the two years since, music hasn’t stopped. It happened, and it happened as an act of refusal of fear and anguish, of authoritarian measures […] of defiance of the apparent fate that seemed to have taken away all our free will. The period between 2020 and 2022 (and even 2023) saw the accentuation of a spirit of systemic change, as the Spaniard Paul B. Preciado describes so well in his Dysphoria. Preciado in his Dysphoria mundi. And it is the sound of a generalised and deep depression, also suffered by this author.

[…]

With the disease that exposed the authoritarian nature of liberal democracies and the degeneration of social infra- and supra-structures and human relations, also came the vaccine: the germination of an insurrectionary spirit that, for the time being and in this country, only manifests itself culturally and artistically.

I’m queer, trans, non-binary and punk. I’m gender euphoria, chameleon and mutant body. I’m the mermaids who always come to the shore to cry. It’s a bitch to survive as a sexual body in its most pluri-multi-meta trans-dimensions. This book revels in all the traumas and violence of being a dissident body.

2023 | It’s Our Idea! (Art, Philosophy and World)

A book with contributions by André Barata, André Godinho, André Teodósio, António Guerreiro, Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel, Catarina Pombo Nabais, Boris Groys, Filipe Sambado, João Constâncio, José Maria Vieira Mendes, Luísa Semedo, Maribel Sobreira, Nuno Fonseca, Peter Trawny, Susana Mendes Silva, Yara Monteiro, Yves Michaud.

‘This book, which collects conversations around Art and Philosophy, seeks to make the thoughts of those who do philosophy, as well as those who do art, accessible. The privilege of having brought together such disparate people, as well as the propitiousness of the registered outcomes, has meant that these conversations, the face-to-face meetings between artists and philosophers and the reflections based on these materials now exist in an object that wants to live on beyond the memory of the event that generated them. That was the idea! And so, an idea became a book, that became many ideas, since the it’s our idea. (…) Once the debate is open, the questions will not be answered without questions addressed to the questions themselves – Can art even, in principle, be expected to transform the world? And is the understanding of the world a meaningful question? As if the questions were realities to be observed from this or that perspective, with an analytical step back, before being opened up – and opened up they will be – in the exploration of the answers they may contain.

[André Barata]

2023 | The Sonic Construction of Mozambique (1974—1994)

Nataniel Ngomane: “A pioneering work and, from the outset, a very important reference tool for future work not only in the musical and sound fields…”

“A pioneering work and, from the outset, a very important reference tool for future work not only in the musical and sound fields…”
[Nataniel Ngomane]

“This book by Marco Roque de Freitas is a systematized theoretical approach to the musical experience of Mozambique, an approach based on a solid foundation covering a period of transition, above all political – from 1974 to 1994 – and on the ‘identification’ of the main processes that led to its relationship with a social construction. […] Even considering the existence of some works of similar nature in Mozambique, we have no difficulty in considering this one, for its depth and intensity, as a pioneering work and, from the outset, a very important reference tool for future work not only in the musical and sound area, but also in other areas of the arts and others, such as the history of Mozambique, anthropology, political sciences, among many more.
[Nataniel Ngomane]

This work provides strong evidence of the importance of the media for ethnomusicological analysis. The processes of broadcasting and record production are part of a narrative that highlights the role of technology, industrial and commercial procedures in shaping music – and not just in its reproduction, but also in its relationship with the territories and populations of Mozambique. In fact, the cultural and territorial diversity of Mozambique poses enormous challenges for research.

2022 | A Body as Listening

Are you there? Can you touch this? (Listening is touching at the distance)

This book unfolds from the perspective of a musical practice by taking your body as part of this resonant cartography.
It will imply exploring all kinds of (im)possible resonant and vibratory processes.
All entities responsible for this book cannot, however, predict ‘what a body can do’ or take entire responsibility for ‘its’ actions or outcomes.
By navigating the two streams in this book, you agree with the fact that we do not provide the best experience, therefore agreeing to and feeding the possibility of failure.

2022 | Spheres of Insurrection (2nd edition)

These essays by Suely Rolnik come to us in the midst of a toxic haze that our collective ways of life produce on the planet. We live in a counterrevolutionary moment.
(Paul B. Preciado)

“These essays by Suely Rolnik come to us in the midst of a toxic haze that our collective ways of life produce on the planet. We live in a counterrevolutionary moment. They are like an oracle, foretelling us about our own mutilated future. They come to remind us that what we are going through is not a natural process, but one more phase of a war that has not ceased: the same war that led to the capitalization of indigenous land preservation areas, to the confinement and extermination of all bodies whose modes of knowledge or affect defied the disciplinary order, to the destruction of popular knowledge for the benefit of scientific capitalization, to witch hunts, to the capture of human bodies to be converted into living machines for the colonial plantation; the same war in which the revolutionaries of Haiti, the citizens of France, the proletarians of the Commune fought, the war that caused the beach to appear under the cobblestones of the streets of Paris in 1968, the war of HIV-positive people, sex workers and trans people at the end of the 20th century, the war of exile and migration…
Suely Rolnik has brought together three texts written over the last few years that could act as a guide to micro-political resistance in times of counter-revolution. I’ve had the good fortune to listen to and read many versions of these texts, like someone watching a living thing germinate. Suely’s thinking, like her own analytical practice, has the quality of always being in motion. What readers now have in their hands is a snapshot of Suely’s critical task taken at a precise moment in time. It is an open work, an archive in beta, constantly changing. The book, which is extremely rich and whose reading will lead to multiple critical and clinical interventions, could be read both as a micro-political diagnosis of the current neo-conservative and nationalist mutation of the neo-liberal financial regime and as a hypothesis about the defeat of the left, in the context not only of Latin America but also of the world. But this requiem for a macro-political left is accompanied in Suely by the design of a new radical left: Spheres of Insurrection is a cartography of the micro-political practices of destabilization of the dominant forms of subjectivation, a diagram of the left to come.”

2022 | Shakespeare’s Diary

Written, designed and conceived by many heads and even more hands, Shakespeare’s Diary aims to bring the Elizabethan writer to a greater number of people who can enjoy, learn from and interact with this performative diary. It could actually be perceived as another possible stage to have by the bedside. Each reader is put in the position of a player. Combining civic and literary education with fun and enjoyment, we want the plot, based on what is known about Shakespeare’s biography, to take shape not only through reading, but also through illustrations, stickers, inverted pages, fluorescent paint, labyrinths, games, optical challenges, Pokémon cards and a face, shaped by a chain and a lot of freedom.
Narrated in the first person, this fictionalized diary steals ideas, drawings and texts from multiple children’s works and many other artists, easily recognizable to the whole family. If Shakespeare stole verses from every author to amuse others, why shouldn’t we do the same to tell the life of this brilliant thief? To steal or not to steal? That’s our question.

2022 | Matchundadi: Gender, Performance and Political Violence in Guinea-Bissau (2nd Edition)

“The culture of matchundadi has been the engine of Guinean political life and without the exacerbation and institutionalization of this form of hegemonic masculinity, the juice that has been watering Guinean politics would disappear.

The hypermasculine matchundadi culture moves within the structures of the state, seeking to turn the endemic matchundadi into a systemic matchundadi. In other words, it seeks to institutionalize a modus operandi and a vision of the world in which the law of the strongest, the most powerful and, above all, the most violent, prevails. At the same time, this hypermasculinity translates the characteristics associated with men and masculinities, such as the redistribution of resources, the protection (and enrichment) of their clan and the permanent threat to political opponents. Thus, the culture of matchundadi is highly performative, albeit with consequences that clash with the democratic environment and social peace, since it thrives on political mimicry and is based on the constant confrontation and demonstration of strength by some over others.”
[Joacine Katar Moreira]

Joacine Katar Moreira’s book allows the reader to learn about the contemporary history of Guinea-Bissau, because it develops a fine and sophisticated analysis of how that history was (and still is) organized by one of the primordial processes of all human societies – gender; because it clearly points out one of the central elements, hitherto hidden from any analysis of the Guinean reality, which generates the instability and violence of Guinea-Bissau’s socio-political processes – the forms of hegemonic (hyper)masculinity that monopolize the competition for state power.

2022 | Recordações d’uma Colonial (Memorias da preta Fernanda)

Recordações d’uma Colonial (Memórias da preta Fernanda) is a fictional autobiography originally published in 1912 and co-authored by two obscure writers, A. Totta and F. Machado. The book, containing elements of a satirical bildungsroman, recounts the journey of Fernanda do Vale (a name that in the book is presented as the literary pseudonym of Andrêsa do Nascimento), a woman commonly known at the time as “preta Fernanda” [black Fernanda] and who the authors present as being Cape Verdean, from her birth and childhood on the island of S. Tiago to her journey through Dakar towards the capital of the empire, Lisbon, the city where most of the events narrated take place. Very little is known about Fernanda do Vale’s life beyond what is represented in the narrative, which, being unreliable, obtains partial corroboration from the few surviving external sources. This book is a critical edition, and includes two essays by Inocência Mata and Pedro Schacht with historical data and an important contextualization on the questions of racism, colonialism and its literary representations.

2022 | Walk, Diana (2nd edition)

In the house with the broken window, I remove the dirt from my socks and boots.
Someone comes upstairs.
I fall silent.
At the table, I think back to the conversation with everyone who died.
I wake up.

I somersault, fall backwards, hook my feet on the rope. The feet miss the ropes and the fingertips of the hands support the fall. My head snaps back, my neck hits the mattress, I hear the sound of bones breaking. The body shuts down. The body levitates. The legs float, the arms move and I feel nothing.
I’m on fire. My shoulders ache. My collarbones are stuck to my neck and my joints are short-circuiting. They burn me.

2022 | Uma coisa não é outra coisa

A theater performance and a play are different because they are two things. At the outset there is no distance between the two arts, any more than there is between citizenship and a painting from the Middle Ages. The description of distances is the fruit of a proposal for a relationship that feeds frustrations and immobilizes identities. The proposal of this book, which thinks about theater and literature, but also works of art and audiences, implies recognizing the other in the encounter and identifying the obvious: I am not you.

2022 | Coisas de Theatro / Loisas de Theatro

With this volume, we re-edit a polemic. As we read it, we become informed, delighted, and laughed at by the artistic “medium” itself. Dissent in the arts has served not only as a positioning strategy but also as a marker for periods and movements. The many quarrels going on today are thus a 2.0 version of a certain past. Life, like performance and history, is a process. With means and ends and, hopefully, also and always with principles. Even if you have to break the dishes to do it.

2022 | O DESENSINO DA ARTE: Projecto para uma escola ideal

“O DESENSINO DA ARTE” assumes that, as Steven Henry Madoff states, “No school is a school without an idea,” and seeks to present a model of an ideal school. The idea is not new; it derives from revisiting examples of other art schools that have shaped the collective imagination, and trying to think about them. Essentially, it argues that, rather than being defined by a space or by the entity that oversees it, a good art school can exist anywhere as long as certain conditions are met.

“O DESENSINO DA ARTE” is divided into two parts. In the first, the existing art education models are contextualized and an alternative is proposed. In the second, a group of contemporary artists is asked to describe what would be, for them, the ideal school. The conclusion is that the best art school is the one that, having the capacity to serve no purpose, proposes a diffusion of the idea of quality to its students.

2020 | Matchundadi: Gender, Performance and Political Violence in Guinea-Bissau

“Matchundadi: Gender, Performance and Political Violence in Guinea-Bissau” is a book by Joacine Katar Moreira that puts the concept of “matchundadi” and Guinean politics and state in friction. The culture of the “matchundadi” contributes to the rigid consolidation of hypermasculinized political structures with a strong impact on people’s lives and contemporary political participation.

Going through the traditional representations of masculinity (“matchu-ethnic”), colonial society (“matchu-urban”) and the national liberation struggle (“matchu-combatant”), the author proposes a unique orbit to think about the dimensions of war, colonialism, celebration and protest in Guinea-Bissau.

An invitation to “be in” politics with all the complexity of the relationships and the scales that produce it and that are often placed outside a “real” policy.

2020 | Short introduction to a catalogue without an author

ed.______, a seal which comprises two collections – “Series” and “Sequence” -, results from the collaboration between the Teatro Praga and the publisher Sistema Solar.

The “Series” collection discloses the intangible heritage of contemporary performing arts. “Sequence” collection is organised in thematic books from different disciplines, which offer a reflection on systems of power and protest in the present time.

Under the coordination of Rita Natálio and André e. Teodósio,“Short introduction to a catalog without an author” is the first book in the “Séries” collection, a catalog without an author and prefaced by choreographer Cyriaque Villemaux.

In 2011 the choreographer met, at a dance school, the author of this catalog. The author, who wants to remain anonymous, is interested in sharing a series of choreographic, literary, culinary, social, etc. proposals, sufficiently open to be carried out by others … “or not”. Written in globish English, the book is an unpublished book that contributes to the dissemination, thought and even practice in the performing arts.

THE PRAGA FILES

This is PROPS º5, the first issue of 2010. This time, PROPS is a set os 12 index cards with random information, or not so random, called THE PRAGA FILES. Made to be held with your hands and not always on the click of one finge. PROPS has been a bag, a disaster magazine, a book of drawings, a poster with a spam insert. Familiarity in this publication can only be obtained in the diversity and surprise of every issue. Props will never be the same.
