Largada… (Start Line…)... is the second part of the Play the Joga o Jogo (Game Cycle); It is the moment before the start of the race, the moment when preparations take place. This is how the curatorial project tests in the antechamber and in the two rooms of Forum Arte Braga various relationships, some obvious, others delirious, between the works on display from the Caixa Geral de Depósitos Collection and the invited artist, Miguel Soares. If in the antechamber a pre-introduction to the game is established, it is in the two exhibition rooms that a pertinent dichotomy is reestablished: in the luminous first room, there is a reflection on the vitality and action implied in the artistic experience; in the gloomy second room, mortality and introspection are revealed, which are felt at that moment.

The Joga o Jogo cycle begin with Partida… (On Your Marks…), at the Museu das Artes de Sintra, between May and August 2025. The cycle ends with Fugida! (Running!), which will take place at the Centro de Artes de Águeda, between January and April 2026.
