In the Game of Desire or The Frontal Shock

By: Ana Borralho, João Galante e Mónica Samões

HOW IS YOUR BODY SHAPED LIKE?
HOW MANY CHARACTERS FIT IN IT?
WHAT IS A SHOUT?
IS SILENCE SCARY?
WHAT IS SOUND?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WISH?

The adventure of a group of children that join in a game, the Game of Desire, to speak about their visions of the world and about the experience of inhabiting it.
Like in the movies, they will build a story about their own reality.

During four sessions, and departing from the observation of images and artistic representations of the human body and research of its sounds and resonances, the children have the opportunity to photograph and film each other.
At the end, they build an installation that uses image, sound, and video to give them back a picture / biography of themselves.

A multidisciplinary object that blends the creative genius of the child with the discovery of art.
