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.
Filipe Pereira builds a path between flowers, choreography and stories in Floral Arrangement, a journey into the biography of the choreographer and dancer, born in Fàtima, amongst gigantic processions, floral compositions and religious souvenir shops. Here is a continuous oscillation between opposite poles: from faith to atheism, from virginity to sexual awakening, from the art of flowers to the art of dance and vice versa. Filipe makes us think about how much our past shapes everything we do, how much of our destiny is already written and how much we can control our present and future.
