TITLE: InBOX

This performer, residing on Terceira Island (Azores), presented her story entitled “InBOX” through contemporary dance. In it, he intended to show us his world through improvisation, from everyday objects, such as cardboard boxes and woolen yarn, in a recognition and reinvention of the EU. With this show, he showed us how it is possible to find these objects on every corner, from abandoned streets, broken or whole, and dramatize with each one of them, with sound accompaniments of music and noise. He managed to create a visual and auditory journey, from each moment, which housed us to a true reality. A true reality; a discovery of the world in its various gradients.

I, Hugo Fernando Henriques Mendes Bernardo, was born on January 18, 1979, in the parish of Our Lady of Pópulo, Caldas da Rainha. Until I was eighteen I studied in Rio Maior and lived in a small parish - Asseiceira. After completing the twelfth year, I continued my studies in the city of Leiria between 1997 and 2001, where I graduated as a Professor of Physical Education, at the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, at the School of Education. After finishing my degree, I taught in some schools in the Lisbon region and, in 2003, I embraced the adventure of the Azorean islands and was placed on the island of Pico. Since then, I have continued on the misting islands, where I was placed on Terceira Island in 2006 to teach at the Integrated Cookies School. In 2007 I started teaching at Tomás de Borba Elementary and Secondary School, in the world heritage city, Angra do Heroísmo (Terceira Island), where I currently live.
In 2017 I started in the photographic world through the Initial Formation in Photography and participation in Complementary Formations in the field of Portrait, Street, Architecture, Photojournalism, Flash and also Editing.
I made several photographic records in landscapes around the Azorean islands and in trips around the world, as well as musical concerts, theater, among other events. I have a special taste for portrait photography, because I love to capture Emotions!
In 2019 I received two Honorable Mentions: MONOVISIONS AWARDS 2019, in the category Photojournalism and PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY (World Photography Day) by the “Academia Olhares”.
