< br/>In 'The Women We Will Not See Twice – an essay on Minetti, a portrait of the artist when he was old', Mônica Calle returns to creating a cartography of the city, just as she did 10 years ago after leaving Casa Conveniente do Cais Sodré. Without a creative space since 2014, Calle and Casa Conveniente continue exploring the relationship between performance and artistic work with the different contexts of a city.
Starting from the same materials: Minetti by Thomas Bernhard, King Lear of Shakespeare and classical music, and with interpretation by Laura Garcia, Mafalda Jara and Marta Felix, Calle reflects on the loneliness and sacrifice of the artist without a place, recovering a strong characteristic of his artistic discourse that confronts the interior space and the theater with the exterior and the street – art and everyday reality.
“The artist is only a true artist if he is crazy from head to toe, giving himself over completely to madness, transforming it into his radical method. And let the world think and write what it wants. You can't be shitty. The artist can't be a wimp, it's obvious. Society cut off my legs by taking away my stage, they put a lawsuit on me and ruined my life. But my nature as an artist didn't suffer at all from this mess, on the contrary. But the effort it takes: being an artist in my sister’s attic.” Minetti, portrait of the artist as an old man.
