Luiz Roque

Luiz Roque‘s first solo show at Sé is also the premiere of his latest movie “MODERN” in São Paulo. Created in 2014 during an artistic residency at Delfina Foundation (London), the film reflects Roque’s interest in the relationships between body, choreography and gender with the legacy of modern sculpture. The show also comprises other pieces in dialogue with the projection.
