On the 16th of March Edite Amorim joined Galician Maria Jesus, director of Lesing and Spanish sign language interpreter, for an artistic project to celebrate communication in all its diverse expressions.
Maria Jesus (Chus) captivated the audience in a symposium in which Edite A. presented a conference in Pontevedra. From there, the seed of an idea was born to create something together to celebrate the art of, with the hands and an expressive body, being able to deliver all possible messages. On a cold Sunday they got together in a studio in Porto, Portugal, where a video was recorded of the two of them expressing a passage on that celebration of communication: “El cuerpo habla” (The speaking body) (see the video at the end of the post).
Through the hands, technique and art of Catarina David, photographed by the journalist Ávany França, and with the colaboration of some enthusiastic friends, an experience-homage to those who, with the body, express life in such a beautiful way.
Grateful to Chus, for the inspiration and beauty.

Excerpt of the work “The speaking body”:
“Today we gather to share the magic of expression.
The magic to impart what we feel through the most organic means, our body.
The body as an instrument that reveals more about the world, about our world.
And that shares the worlds of others.
The body that speaks, the body that demonstrates, the body that communicates.
The body that is present.
(…)
We have stopped to celebrate this body that speaks. (…)”.
