Sobre o Fim begins with the end of a romantic relationship, which becomes a reflection on the idea of endings, both individual and collective. The project investigates areas of intersection between humans and plants, a kind of botanical memory, creating a joint hallucination, an atmosphere, which results in the possible fiction of this encounter. The end is not just a breaking point, but an opening for new fictions that emerge from collapse. Plants transform ashes into roots. The scenic space explores botanical performativity and incorporates carnivorous plants, aphrodisiac plants, plants that promote dreams, and plants with healing properties. The soundscape is based on sounds emitted by plants, mixing pre-recorded sounds and sounds emitted in real time. — Gio Lourenço & Sofia Berberan
