This project consists of a series of performative acts in Lisbon's alleyways. Each series is performed by a different character I create for myself and for the specific places chosen. There are 153 alleyways in the city, and I intend to live in all of them for short periods of time, through these imaginary characters.
The first series of the project 'Becos' is called, 'Carolina', and was already documented in video and photography. It is about a character who is eating different pieces of fruit in seven different alleyways, in the areas of Castelo de São Jorge and Alfama. She spends a whole day going from 'beco' to 'beco', sitting on a traditional Portuguese chair, opening her magic pot to find out which fruit she will be eating next.
