Viaturas — Ana Mula
Project created under the Antecipar o Futuro program, an initative by Teatro Nacional D. Maria II, with the support of NTT Data and in partnership with O Espaço do Tempo
Viaturas intends to present the degradation until the destruction of a vehicle generating a parallelism with sustainability concerns, where the constant unbridled acceleration could lead us to anthropocentric collapse. Initial obscure. Gradually we were able to see the reflection of light on different parts of an accident car, partially destroyed. Is there anyone still alive in there?
