An area where the land is close to or below sea level is called a lowland. Lowlands also refers to Freud's theory, which compares the mind to an iceberg - it floats with one seventh of its volume above the water, the only visible part.
In this piece for eight performers, the creator dives below sea level, into the "unconscious mind", and guides the performers and the audience on a journey through the "mental waiting room", where thoughts remain until they can attract the gaze of the conscious. Primitive instincts resurface (desires, fears, desires, beliefs, anxieties, among others) and impulses kept at bay, undisguised by the mannerisms of adult etiquette. The physicality linked to the unconscious becomes the main character; the body its resource. In an encounter between people in an "empty space", the search for a common essence can facilitate a deeper vision of our daily lives and our personal and collective identity.
Through an aesthetic of dance and theatre of a high physical and experimental level, we visit the shadow world of existence, of internal stories that unfold beyond language and words. - Hélder Seabra

After the show, there will be a discussion with the directors of Companhia Instável, and a workshop is planned for a date to be announced.
