ARTIFICĬU explores themes and symbols that characterize the laws of perception in the human mind. Weaving together the languages of dance, cinema, visual theater, magic, and music, in a mutable collage of dialogues, references, and imaginaries that inhabit the body, Inês and Dylan play with their expectations of time, memory, and beauty in a reality that leaps between the invisible and the tangible, fiction and the “real,” polyrhythm, and unison.
