7 ≈ 8 is the birth and emanation of AURA, by exploring the seven almost eight auric layers as a healing and internal process.
The performance is an immersive and ethereal experience, an ecosystem inhabited by the artist and the audience, where two intersecting embodied landscapes unfold in space-time, mapping her identity and circumscribing her transition.

AURA
AURA is a trans femme artist whose praxis is an art-life experience focusing on counterculture and countersex through methods of depersonalisation, disembodiment, and dissidence.
AURA is a techno-shaman who merges visual art, live art, and electronic music to create transformative environments and immersive [dys]utopian realities.
AURA arises from the definition of "the distinctive atmosphere or quality that seems to surround and be generated by a person, thing, or place; [...] a supposed emanation surrounding the body of a living creature and regarded as an essential part of the individual".
AURA has presented multiple shows across Portugal, Poland, France, Italy, and the UK.
AURA inhabits the liminal, therefore is universal.
