Written Portraits

Performance on 21st of May 23, 7.30pm

//

Written Portraits is an improvisation-based participatory performance where, as painters do, Adrián Dozetas portrays a person improvising a poem with his typewriter and the person receives the poem on paper as a gift.

This performance is based on improvised poems written live and often invites artists from various disciplines. Live music, live painting, and improvised contemporary dance; disciplines that not only lead the moment and the words into an experience of trance and human interconnection, but also tend to portray the person in their own language.
