Auditório Ilídio Pinho | UCP | Campus do Porto
May 28 marks the final event in the 2026 program of concerts, lectures, exhibitions, and performances. On this day, the School of the Arts at the Universidade Católica welcomes Libby Heaney for a performance titled "Eat My Multiverse" (2025–ongoing, a performance featuring a live multiverse projection and sound; 30 minutes), which will be followed by a discussion and closing lecture by Joasia Krysa.
Eat My Multiverse is a live performance work that unfolds the self as quantum: plural, relational and sensorially entangled across inner and outer worlds and bodies. Drawing on Libby Heaney’s wider practice exploring quantum materiality, consciousness and shared ontological fields, the piece brings together quantum computing, virtual environments, voice, movement and embodied ritual to open experiential encounters with multiplicity. Natural imagery, memory and emotion circulate through the work as generative forces, allowing quantum phenomena to be felt as lived conditions rather than abstract concepts.
Eat My Multiverse invites audiences to sense themselves as entangled within wider human, technological, and ecological fields, cultivating forms of perception that soften polarised thinking and renew felt connection with nature.
The programme brings together artists, creative technologists, curators, writers, and thinkers with contributions extending across several thematic constellations: from spiritual and the mythic, socio-technological infrastructures and (de)colonial logics, to speculative futures. Through these contributions, the programme explores the potential to reshape how we think about human and nonhuman creativity, how we experience the convergence of art and technology, and how their imaginative possibilities can inspire new cultural practices and worlds. Curated by Joasia Krysa, Nuno Crespo, Daniel Ribas and José Alberto Gomes.
