BÁRBARA is com­po­sed by Sadrie Alves and Désirée 0100. She was first born as a charac­ter of a cross-dis­ci­pli­na­ry per­for­man­ce we devel­o­ped together. We are inte­rested in sha­ring know­led­ges gat­he­red throug­hout our cre­a­ti­on pro­cess becau­se at the core of our pro­ject is a love for radi­cal peda­go­gies and sto­ry­tel­ling. Investigating con­tem­po­ra­ry ways of tel­ling sto­ries is a tool to con­ci­li­a­te dif­fe­rent time­li­nes of our own mul­ti­cul­tu­ral jour­ney. Forgotten lore, obscu­red his­to­ries, dis­tor­ted memo­ries and emer­ging arche­ty­pes inter­sect in our work. We draw from the past to under­stand the ancient sto­ries of the future.
