Failure
Luisa Amorim’s most recent solo show is the fourth version of an evolving series that includes Failure, Failure (Complete), and Complete (iii). In the first three versions, she invited the audience to write down what they felt worked in the performance and what did not. Failure – retaining the original title – was devised, like the previous iterations, directly from the feedback given by the audience.
Failure is a performance show about the struggles of wanting to make a theatre show and some other little pains.

Luisa Amorim is a Portuguese performance artist based in London.
Her work centres on experimenting with ways to dramatize the quotidian, bringing elements of her everyday life onto the stage. She often plays with real-time interactions, inviting the audience to become active participants in the performance.
Amorim practice engages with themes such as gender identity, feminine aesthetics, womanhood, motherhood, and ageing, particularly within domestic settings.
Blending theatre, performance art, installation, dance, and poetry, her work unfolds across multiple disciplines.
Amorim studied Drama at Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema in Lisbon, and in 2016 completed an MA in Performance Making at Goldsmiths, University of London. She has since presented her performances in London, Manchester, Lisbon, and Porto.
