Patrícia and Mafalda, first cousins and daughters of two sisters now separated by 362 km between Lisbon and Guimarães, were both breastfed by each other’s mothers. This gesture, simultaneously symbolic and real, serves as a starting point to consider the body as a living archive of intergenerational stories and memories. The artistic residency in Guimarães will initiate the research process for a performance that will include the artistic collaboration of Ana Oliveira e Silva, André Júlio Turquesa, and Mário Coelho. We, the first privileged, first cradle, will have the opportunity to glimpse the very first steps.
