The first amphitheatres where the human body was studied in Europe were called anatomical theatres. There, where the first dissections took place, wonders were revealed about the inside of the body. The theatre had been showing the entrails for centuries, but these images of open bodies may have provoked horror, amazement and enchantment that had never been seen before.<\/p>\n
It was while preparing a show that we first cautiously touched ourselves – the wounds and the scales. As our boundaries blurred, we came across a piece of evidence that we had already suspected: we were already in each other, we were already in the air. Because we are living and dead particles in constant movement. Even though we try to contain ourselves, it’s impossible. And, in fact, it gives us great pleasure to share our sensitive parts.<\/p>\n
In \u2018Partes Sens\u00edveis\u2019 we speculate on possible relationships between the science that has created conceptions about our bodies, our shameless physical and emotional encounter and a time we don’t yet know with our muscles, our organs and our skins and which we call, for lack of a better word, the future.<\/p>\n
