Dignity

It is essential to know who and what you are against in your work. NuIsIs ZoBoP is against hipocrisy and mediocrity of Being, two extremely common things in the portuguese scene perpetuating themselves into exhaustion, via lack of integrity and ethos. As such I have no faith in human nature or in good will and good feelings, to live is an act of magnificent insanity. Most of the people one interacts with are nothing but dead corpses filled with appaling stupidity deeply stuck within their bodies and minds. Mere Demiurgical puppets posing to others. It is wise to treat them as such, looking behind their eyes to find the seed of something worthy.
To me, the most important quality of a performer is an innate sense of dignity, today,so. Dignity is a rather dangerous and non social quality: it comes from within in Isolation. All stupidity and smallness begins to itch and fart and prick when dignity is near. This is to be expected and is by itself an wonderful experience to testify and devellop, germinating the Grotesque and Comic.
