Nothing to Hide is a multidisciplinary performance in which different bodies and souls meet, giving rise to an inclusive and ever-evolving scenic language. Through movement, proximity, and shared time, the work explores the body as a space of transformation, vulnerability, and connection.
In a space where darkness still breathes, a body enters and listens. From silence, sound emerges; from sound, other bodies arrive. What begins as fragmentation slowly transforms into encounter — an unstable ground shaped through relation.
The initial fragmentation gradually recomposes into a form of synergy: bodies support, sustain, and reshape one another in a continuous balance between autonomy and interdependence. The stage becomes a living organism, where identities are redefined and transformed through encounter.
Rather than offering answers, the work invites the audience into a space of perception and coexistence — reflecting on visibility, inclusion, and the powerful act of being seen.
Nothing to hide —the act of being together.
BIOKINETICS is a European performing arts project funded by the Creative Europe Programme – European Union, bringing together artists from Portugal, Greece and Italy, both with and without disabilities. The group works within a framework that is open to transformation, placing themes such as inclusion, accessibility and a new aesthetic of movement at its heart.
