Teresa Silva and Filipe Pereira are two choreographers from the same generation whose work is characterised by an interest in collaborative processes, which translates into diverse cocreations with other artists and informal collectives. What is left of what passes premiered in 2013 and is their first joint work, resulting from a certain fascination with the body’s exterior and the space that surrounds it. What is left of what passes is impressions, sensations, synthesised memories in a dumbstruck body passed over by materials, lights, and sound to create a visual choreography that rejects the linearity of meaning but creates a sensory fiction. Through the activation of precarious, fragile and banal materials, organic beings and natural phenomena can be seen, transporting the spectator to a place of amazement.

Teresa Silva (Lisboa, 1988) is a choreographer and a dancer. These two activities influence each other in her development as an artist. She embarked on her career in 2008, collaborating with national and international artists and moving mainly between Portugal, France and Italy. She studied at the National Conservatory’s School of Dance, the Higher School of Dance and the PEPCC - Choreographic Creation, Dance Research and Training Programme at Forum Dança.

Filipe Pereira (Fátima, 1986) is a choreographer, dancer and floral designer. His work has developed from a reflection on the hierarchy of the tools used in the scenic arts; the practice of attributing choreography to the performer’s body is thus spread out to the other elements that constitute a show, such as lighting and set design. He is interested in contemplating the natural decomposition of cut flowers and transforming this process into performance.He studied at the Higher School of Dance and attended the PEPCC - Choreographic Creation, Dance Research and Training Programme at Forum Dança.
