Matilde Real

"I was part of BOWING's nuclear team for two years, and now I am in the BOWING DOC team, contributing to the co-creation and construction of this website. I worked extensively with words, writing texts, developing sessions around the Portuguese language, researching and devising small works that were integrated into the bigger performances or the Map of Solos. I was always involved, with Inês and Madalena, in this game of action and reflection, whether in the field or in the office. BOWING is the greatest journey I've ever taken. It was a slow explosion over three years that touched every aspect of my life: friendships, love, work, home, body, writing—everything. With dizzying moments and intense periods of gradual construction, being alongside Madalena and Inês in this project is something I will carry with me for a long time and to very, very distant places."
