"Sublime anger is a feeling, a restlessness, a question about existence, about life, between death and rebirth...
It flows like liquefied matter and spirit, an alchemical, vegetable, mineral, flaming, vaporous mixture...
Ascents and descents of a body and a soul that search in the dream and in reality for something more...
Hands and looks that scrutinize the wood that makes culture and the land that sustains nature...
Falling asleep and waking up among fallen leaves and fragments of iridescent transparencies of a unity or plenitude lost or to be reinvented... ". Julio Martin da Fonseca

sublime anger Its raw material is a first meeting I had with Jùlio Martín and the plastic artist Dina Figueiredo. Together we made a trip to Évora to see The Stained Glass Window of the Resurrection made by Dina for the Church of S. Francisco de Évora (Portugal), a work inspired by the representation of Christ on the way to Calvary with the cross on his back O Senhor dos Passos .
The stained glass window evokes a reflection on life, death and resurrection, from which transcends a dramaturgy that confronts us with a sublime challenge in the face of the immobility of a showcase and its dimensions, the mobility of dance and how to unite both. artistic languages. From the colors of glass arises the need of nature that led us to film in the natural and human landscapes of the architecture full of history of the Higher Institute of Agronomy of the University of Lisbon. The combination of elements, such as ashes, leaves, earth, wooden stairs, colored glass, the dancer's body, and everything else, is made sublime thanks to the creative magic of an eye that looks behind a lens and perpetuates the magical moment.
I never cease to be amazed by the creativity of these Portuguese artists. Thank you all". Alice Soto
