Hide to Seek is the latest work by performer and creator Júlio Cerdeira, through the Banquete structure, which he co-founded in 2019.
This show aims to think of the mask as the crystallisation of an expression, state of mind or (id)entity, but also as the possibility of (de)identification for the emergence of a distinct corporeality. In a tense and ritual game of hide and seek, the body redefines itself with each gesture, allowing itself to be transformed by its repositioning. A dialogue is sought between watertight and alterable forms, between the singular and the collective, which allows the mask to be imprinted on the face and the otherness to be invoked in the body.
