Designed for a series of lectures-performances curated by Argentine playwright and director Lola Arias for Teatro Praga, Doing It and Floral Arrangement explore some personal aspects, in a very different way, of the life of director and actor Pedro Penim and dancer Filipe Pereira.
Doing It is the confession of a secret passion, an innocent and dark addiction that Pedro had never confessed to anyone: his obsessive online research and cataloging information of several uninhabited and / or remote islands on the internet. Starting from this “secret” the director leads us into a discourse studded with clues on the nature of our interest in isolation, evasion and demarcation of space and questions us about our obsessions.What do we secretly watch on our computers when there no one is there to witness?
