Não devo fazer os deveres ~ segundas na z

Performance by Giulio Dal Lago and Maria João Petrucci for the solo exhibition by Maria João Petrucci.
 

26th Feb 2024, Galeria Zé dos Bois, Lisbon.
 

Duties follow our learning, the search for our identity, for what we want to be within what we must be. Constantly pulled from one side to the other. What a confusion, just like solving a mathematical problem. If I do this and that, maybe I’ll manage to solve it. I want to play soccer, should I play soccer? I should write neatly, do I want to write neatly? I want to draw in my notebook, should I? I want to get the times tables right and not speak too loudly. What a hassle. Let’s dance with the memories of primary school and purge the duties-not-duties from the inside out and from the outside in. Triiiim, the bell rang to go in.

MARIA JOÃO
Once upon a time, there was a boy who had three eyes. After he ate an ice cream and ended up with three eyes, the ice cream was purple. Maria João’s favorite color is orange. When she was little, she loved musical canons, and if she got the times tables wrong, she’d get hit on the head with a ruler.
