(2007),"I WANT MORE FANS, YOU WANT MORE STAGE!"(2008) a performance collaboration with Guilherme Garrido.His work exists in the edge of his undisciplined formation, deformation and un-definition. The space of the theater is turned into a paradoxical arena in which he tests re-writing his autobiography and turning the experience of a vagabond life into fiction. A result of his research is"holding on to nothing with everything i've got " which he teaches since 2006.Antonio shared the artistic direction of S&T/Skite Porto 2008 with Guilherme Garrido and Jean Marc Adolphe. |
