Quico Cadaval agreesto talk to someone. The conversation time is divided between Cadaval and the client, using a strict chess clock. The conversation can be seen but not heard by casual passers-by. Cadaval guarantees secrecy regarding the subject or content of the conversation, and clients are free to disclose or distort it.

The performance "Conversatório" highlights the scarcity and irremediably hierarchical nature of any conversation. It is a machine that produces micro-dramas and allows us to identify the differences between colloquium, interrogation, confession, sermon, revelation, and other forms of conversation between two people.

"Conversatório, medidas variables" is a work by Quico Cadaval that was first exhibited in June 2008 at the presentation of the Ecléctica Ensemble album at the Galician Center for Contemporary Art in Santiago de Compostela. Five meters from the window of the CGAC café.
