Azul como uma laranja
Cecilia Colacrai / João Costa Lima
(2009)
Cecilia Colacrai and João Lima begin their meetings in La Caldera (November 2008), observing their common interests and the realities and concerns of each one. They look for a way of approaching and developing a working methodology.
From the reading of the space, the decisions (their triggers and consequences), the actions carried out and the description of a point/object, the possibilities of fictionalisation open up. They then turn their attention to the creation of a language of their own.
The title of the piece refers to a verse by the French poet Paul Èluard, 'La terre est bleue comme une orange' and reveals an interesting paradox about language.
Through a technical residency at La Caldera (February 2009) the process comes to completion, with the participation of musician Miguel Marín and lighting designer Xavi Muñoz.
