C-O-M is an interactive solo performance, conceived and performed by Rita Vilhena, which is part of the continuation of the research begun in Raio de Ti/Multirising the Other in I (2023).
While that work drew on autobiographical experiences, Pó e Carne questions the possibility of transmitting and embodying the experience of the other, establishing a device that expands individual subjectivity.
