Born in 1997, Mrs Domicília lives in the same place today: a tiny apartment where original and replica are confused. Her geometrically absurd, neurotically ordered body speaks of a present that is also, and perhaps increasingly, ours: the reverse of the reverse, the imitation of the imitation. Domicília is virtually capable of reproducing any movement, any intention, without ever telling us who she really is. A reflection of modern life.
The revival of Casio Tone (1997) is dedicated to the memory of Mónica Lapa (1965-2001), a prominent figure in the history of Portuguese dance, who accompanied the beginning of this adventure and captured the iconic image of Senhora Domicília in photographic form.
Sílvia Real is one of those rare performers who know precisely how to transform a minimum of data into unparalleled theater that is comical to the point of madness.
