Made in collaboration with Andrea Capella, Varinia Canto Vila, Laura Samy, Lara Negalara, Nyandra Fernandes, Michelle Chevrand. With the performers, Caesar imagined scenarios of everyday work life impacted by exhaustion to create improvised choreographies. Such scenarios were: “to create an alternative gesture to be made when the computer overheats and it can no longer be used to work”. Through the use of propositions, Caesar explores the video shoot as a performative moment of cocreation. Instead of a peremptory direction, she sees her method as consciously laying triggers for an articulation, for a kind of choreography to be developed between herself, the performers, the camera, and the laptop. Videos: 'Tela Melada (Sticky Screen)', 'Cuca Fresca (Fresh mind)', 'Conversa de ventilador (Fan talk)', 'Cachoeira de café (Coffee waterfall)'
