Reviews

"It's an opportunity to see the work of Companhia Hiato of São Paulo, directed by Leonardo Moreira who stars in a research interested in a dimension of play and scenic language opening beyond any didacticism or theoretical programs, a friction ball is formed among myth, fiction and the spectacle powers as drivers of reality. (...) In Ficção the character shows as actor and it is not configured primarily as a whole, but by a movement that includes random, inversions, masks, false and unexpected gestures dependent on its intentions and apprehension, in other words it appears an intermittent 'dance' crossings between appearance and truth. (...) Ficção is a work on detail, an aesthetic refinement of small things".

Dinah Cesare – Questão de Crítica Magazine

"Ficção is a little like a onas Mekas' video-diariy. Obsessively subjective. Honestly impure. Radically original".

Lucas Mayor

"The fact is the way they are staged, these solos extrapolate the individual making the spectator reflect on the collective. (...) The cast work is exquisite deserving all acting awards of the year. (...) Courageous and poignant, Ficção takes tears and makes you think. Perfect balance between reason and emotion. And do not arts serve for this?"

José Cetra – Palco Paulistano

"... It distends the relation between the way of life (the real) and the means of creating (art) to touch the approaches of truth and lie, actor and character, audience and stage. The director Leonardo Moreira rehearses demarcate actors' life fragments translated into individualized scenic projects. (...) The stories are not dramatic documents or emotive testimonies, but a pretext to establish theatrical fictions, forms of language appropriation serving to construct an expressive vacuum. Ficção fills the distance proposed by hiatus (it is not pointless that the company adopted the name) and the quotes (reinvention of experiences), an intense exchange of codes that are on stage with those who are in the audience.

Two Fictions

The spectacle is in process and without a premiere date.

From the idea of "fictions which involve fictions" the dramaturgy of Duas Ficções will be structured as a geometric progression, in other words, it will be prepared for complementary layers. In simple terms, we would say that such structure leads us to the famous Russian dolls – a hollow dolls series that are placed inside each other, from largest to the smallest one. Similarly, the dramaturgy operates: A fiction that brings in its diegesis another fiction that presupposes another fiction and so on.

Elements and choreographic concepts – inserted through specific training – show duplicity and imitation that dramaturgy suggests. One of these imitations, for example: The actress who copies a movie actress playing an actress who plays a character – it suggests a game of multiple fictions. This game causes oscillation in actor's body. Every time that this "oscillation" arises, there is a rupture, a discontinuity. Not only the actors' composition undergoes a change, but also the order of perception the audience has built is destroyed and another order has to be established. The instability moment gains relevance, the gap between the perception changes, the threshold – an order of perception is changed, but another is not established yet.

Direct affluent of Ficção, this new show continues to investigate the gap between fiction and reality. Between these two impossible limits in any theatrical performance, there is a great possibility of transgressions and hybridism, since the boundaries between the two concepts are not clearly drawn but instead always blurry. In this place, between experience and real testimony and immateriality of theatrical play – a space of displacement and fictional and real layers overlapping – located in the main interest of Companhia Hiato.
