Edgar Pêra and Vitor Rua have been known as the duo “Mister Ego & Mister Egg” since they collaborated on the film O Homem-Teatro in 2001.
Their concert-films are unique and inimitable, sometimes serving as a research laboratory for future films, and other times as remakes of films that have already been released, or simply visual and sound interpretations improvised together.
Rua plays live guitar & electronics and Pêra films live, and a VJ mixes his images with pre-edited images.
