Failure Utopia

by Ana Côrrea & Mafalda M. Jacinto

Rua das Gaivotas 6, Lisbon

Failure Utopia was a playful improvised performance developed together with Ana Côrrea, where we dabble about the importance of accepting failure in order to be happy, after all doing things bad is good, and wanting to succeed is bad for you. It creates unecessary anxiety and people pleasing performative efforts. Overall, we are tired of trying to do things good. 

The performance would end with a very bad song that we would perform live and sing mostly a capella.
Rhytmless but funny, we made an ode to the okayness of failing endelessly. 

(this performance emerged after a 2 weeks residency with Rabbit Hole at Rua das Gaivotas. During this period we also created a zine you can check here.)
