Book-object that appears as the center of the performance O Primeiro Sol (The First Sun).
O Primeiro Sol is an invitation to read a book that only exists for one night; Sofia Dinger and Miguel Bonneville have written it over the last four years and made it available for reading only during those sunless hours. At dawn, the book disappears and will only live on as a memory of those who were present.
O Primeiro Sol was the first collaboration of Sofia Dinger and Miguel Bonneville that takes as its starting point The Seagull, by Anton Chekov. This was the first act of a work that will continue for the next 12 years – a unique event lasting 9 hours and 36 minutes, which started at 20:43 (time when the sun sets) and ended at 06:19 (time of its birth), occupying the precise period of the absence of light.
At dawn, the book disappears and will only live on as a memory of those who were present.
