Depicting bodies as multi-layered, this investigation attempts to reveal a kind of porosity that is beyond metaphor or an obvious quality. Instead, it refers to the capacity to infuse ourselves with what surrounds and then moves us. Allied to philosophies of difference and the performing arts, this brief presentation covers issues such as temporality, performers’ skin, and presence in contemporary performance practices. The study focuses on practices lived by the author as a teacher, as an audience member and as a performer. The research intends to respond to a contemporary ambition of being on the stage that resists representation.

This presentation introduces the artistic journey of Brazilian choreographer Eva Schul and the project titled Carne Digital: Arquivo Eva Schul (Digital Flesh: Eva Shul's Archive). It also presents an analysis of the choreography Acuados, directed by Eva Schul. This is a protest-choreography that was produced in 2016 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the dance company Ânima Cia de Dança. In the brief analysis of ‘Acuados’ choreography, we will look at the gender performance of men and women under the lens of patriarchy and its social structures, which reinforce the power and control over women's bodies.
