André Felipe

André Felipe is a Brazilian researcher and playwright based in Barcelona. My most recent projects are developed from the idea of latinofuturism, a speculative concept inspired by practices of temporal complication and the imagination of (im)possible futures. I am the curator of Desvio Süd, a residency for Latinx artists in Germany, and the creator of the Latinofuturismo podcast. I hold a PhD in Performing Arts from the Universidade de São Paulo (USP), with a research stay at the Goethe-Universität Frankfurt funded by DAAD, and a master’s degree in playwriting from the Universidad Nacional de las Artes (UNA) in Buenos Aires. I have written and directed (main works): suave coisa nenhuma (Barrio Berlin 2025), Museum of the Extinction of the Contemporary Man (Sala d’Art Jove 2022), and Essays for the End of the World (MAM-SP 2018).

Last project in residence

Fabulations: Strategies for Activating a Living Archive project draws from the archives of Graner and Mercat de les Flors to explore how the archives of dance and live arts can be activated as embodied memories, establishing dialogues between generations of artists and diverse temporalities. I propose a “body-to-body” approach to archival materials, reading them not as static repositories but as invitations to respond from the present and to speculate on (im)possible futures. At the core of the project is a laboratory with Graner’s resident artists, where we will develop fabulation devices based on archival materials. Additionally, the process will be documented in a research diary, generating a counter-archive that reflects on the archive in live arts and conjures new chronologies.
