Performance, "Never /Again", Men Only - Performance art Festival, curated by BBB Johannes Deimling, Berlin, Germany
"Never/Again" work's the fact that we will never be child again.
I built a sequence of actions that aims to create an identity of myself. By going against the wall, where was written NEVER and falling down in the flour, where was written AGAIN, I create a dialogue between child memories and an attempt to dream forever.

Performance Project "Appointment with Kortrijk" in the context of Kunstcentrum Buda Residencies, Kortrijk, BelgiumThis project built a relation map between the artist Márcio Carvalho and the city/surround of Kortrijk, Belgium taking advantage of its spaces, population, objects and quotidian’s. These relations were recorded in the format of video, photography, text and sound. During the project period of time were collected testimonials, objects and writing passages to be used in a final presentation where the artist engage, in a performative action, all the constructed forms, lived in this period of time.
“Appointment with Kortrijk” reflected about the condition of the act of meeting. It is a collaboration between Márcio Carvalho, invited artists and the city of Kortrijk.
In an appointment there is always a theme, a subject to talk about. In this project the artist proposes the opposite. The subject of the dialogues will be made in the space and with the properties of it.
A special thank to Maria Lucia and Kim Snauwaert who collaborate with me in this project.

Performance, "Learning you" in collaboration with Elisa Haug, Extension Series 5 - Curated by Andrés Galeano, Grimmuseum, Berlin
We decided to develop, in our four day residence, a performance collaboration dealing with the process of becoming familiar. The architecture of the room, the wall in the middle, dividing it into two parts, suported this idea.
The performance had 3 moments
1 - An installation
2 - The performance
3 - What Stayed from the performance
Both three moments were very important for the performance process and work. They come to question what comes before a performance and what stays after, and the importance of this 2 stages that surrounds the performance action.

Durational Performance, "Vorbei", M5 Differential Performance Art Festival, Turmßstrasse - Moabit, Curated by Richard Raabensat, Berlin, Germany
Creating a map of actions between several public spaces in Turmstraße, the artist behaved a quotidian that was an exaggerated replica of the street daily life. Spaces such as the Church, the Markthalle, street roofs, the galerie Nord and other spaces in Turmstraße were stages for different actions.
One miracle in the church, a moment in heaven and many other actions created a reflex of the rhythm and the behaviors of the street in a format of a dream

Performance, "Neo Saudade", residence in collaboration with Lucia Marques, Roberto Afonso and Tiago Margaça
Saudade is a Portuguese word. It is one of the Portuguese untranslatable words. Is a feeling of missing, although is very specific, in this case. This word was written for the first time by D.Duarte king of Portugal. The word was born when the Portuguese ships were travelling around the world searching for new cultures. It was the feeling of the ones who stayed and the ones who left, what created the “saudade”.
“Neo saudade” was the form that the artists found to translate the feeling of Saudade, in Berlin
In my performance I worked between the feeling of shipwreck inside a body and the condition of death in the portuguese expression "matar a saudade" killing saudade. In this expression death is a beautiful thing.

Performance, "2nd Time Still", Festival Plot in Situ, Acud Theater, Berlin
"For the 2nd time I am in a position where I have to remember myself, as an artist and as an individual that is influenced by different kinds of environments. Working the Theater in site-specific means that I should let behind acting, that can exist as well in my work. But not here, not now, not because i am in a Theater Architecture."
Coming from Visual arts, Marcio Carvalho creation, in the live art context, is always based in images that doesn't aspire to be understood in a linear narrative. "The aim is to affect the public by creating an image that each one can built is own interior time narrative".
Marcio Carvalho in this particular piece will work with Satoshi Morita. Satoshi works in the field of Sonic Art. Beside constructing the physical space with Marcio Carvalho, Satoshi Morita will create the audio circumstances in a constant development of space and movement.
I constructed a form for Satoshi, Satoshi was listening this form, I was looking Satoshi, both were living a real process of construction in a acting space named Theater.

Performance "Faker of Self to me", Batard Festival, Brussels
Performance made in the context of the festival of performance Batard in Brussels
Was a performance that assumed a relation between the artist and the object suitcase. “The performance was constructed by actions based on the time between the moment that I found the object and the moment that I became the same object”
Object and body in a relation that brings many social studies of behaviour, that related with impossible actions, created by the artist, reformulates the relation between person and object as quotidian actions.

Performance "100gr of Religious respect", GDK Galerie der Kunst, Berlin
Performance made in the context of the festival Magistrale, Berlin
Was a performance that questions function and mechanism in physical and poetic relations between object and person, object and object, person with person. This performance questions concepts of interactivity in a direct relation with body, where the new forms of the term, related to future, are worked with the excess need of the body.
These actions were showed in a daily life context, in intimae situations between 2 persons and objects.
