The point of departure for this show emerges from a text by Peter Sloterdijk addressing the “cavernous” allegory of the greenhouse: conservatory is also a synonym in English for greenhouse, a place where we keep what we want to preserve.
If the conservatory is a place where objects and human beings can conserve themselves and survive, distant from all alterations and changes (except for aging and its natural results), our Conservatório is a place where texts and actors can conserve themselves and survive, distant from all alterations and changes (except aging and its natural results).
If a conservatory can become an evolved organization, under the form of a public or private establishment, destined to safeguard and promote the teaching of certain cultural values such as music, theatre, and other types of knowledge such as the techniques of certain métiers (mechanic, etc.), our Conservatório is an organization that allows itself to evolve, under the form of a semi-public/semi-private space, destined to safeguard and promote the teaching of Theatre.
The term conservatory is largely used to designate an artificial phenomenon, but it is equally applied to designate a natural, spontaneous context that is able to fulfill, without human intervention, a function of preservation (for instance, the isolation of an island during the drift of the continents as being able to create a natural conservatory of living species). So, Conservatório is also a performance resulting from the natural drift of theatre that tries to create a natural conservatory of species.
