alvoroço - performance in construction

ALVOROÇO is a multidisciplinary performance by the Colectivo Cocuruto da Gaveta that investigates, through art, the processes of personal and existential transformation. Starting from real testimonies of people who have undergone profound changes in their lives, the project seeks to embody the anxieties, ruptures, and impulses that divert us from predictable trajectories and summon us to reinvention. Among words, silences, memories, and gestures, ALVOROÇO proposes a reflection on what moves us when we feel the urgency to change.

From this participatory investigation, a documentary film, biographies, and artistic installations developed by creators from the region were created, challenged to imagine the inner universe of each portrayed person. From the fusion of these materials arises an artistic experience composed of exhibition, performance, and documentary cinema. More than a show, ALVOROÇO is an invitation to listen, to recognize our common unease, and to transform that intimate agitation into artistic creation.
