During a year, between January 2020 and January 2021, Solveig Phyllis Rocher was artist-archivist for the Teatro Municipal do Porto. With paper and pencil in hand, she witnessed nearly all the performances that passed through the theatre.
Solveig imagines the process of creating this archive as a geological process: the original performances trickling through layers of translations in different materials (performance, drawing, flesh, paper, drawn line, sewn line), slowly losing information and getting smaller until only these residuals remained, which she now presents to you, so you don't forget this year.
