A dancer who couldn't dance, a singer who couldn't sing, an actor who couldn't act, a writer who couldn't write, a painter who couldn't paint. A dancer who sang, a writer who painted, an actor who wrote. You had to know how to do to understand how to be. While the fine lines that separate being from doing, the self from action, and the thing from the subject are blurred, something remains inept and dysfunctional. A monster that doesn't fulfill its function.
〰 João dos Santos Martins

Based on the song cycle Dichterliebe [Poet's Love], composed by Robert Schumann in 1840, Está Visto takes the form of a recital in which the singing, piano, and dance practices interact and overflow into each other. The romantic-style songs, with poetry by Heinrich Heine, speak of unrequited love. This lack of reciprocity is reproduced in choreographic ideas that disarticulate language, fractioning the gesture with the lyrics of the songs, the sound, and the listening in a crossing body.
