Reinaldo Ribeiro
LUDIC | GROTESQUE | VIOLENT | LIBERATING
Show: NO/MAS/SACRE
NO/MAS/SACRE is a piece that avoids small talk with Stravinksy and directly jumps into the thick of it all. The performance unfolds within the seemingly classical triangle of piano, pianist, and dancer, only to subvert expectations through a dazzling ritual of the ludic, the grotesque and the transgressive.
Root Music Agency
FLAMENCO | DANCE | CONTEMPORARY | BEAUTIFUL
Show: Intimate variations
Fragility as a starting point, the piano provides backing for the movement to travel to its abandonment.
Flamenco always as an impulse, dance in all its breadth and contemporaneity to place us in the state today.
Cia. Sebastián García Ferro
AUDIENCE | INTERGENERATIONAL | DANCE | NETWORKING
Show: Upper Vol. 2
Upper Vol. II is a contemporary dance project by choreographer Sebastián García Ferro that reflects on the relationship between human beings and their verticality, between the body and its gravity, questioning the proportion and disproportion thereof.
Thomas Noone Dance
DANCE | OBJECT-THEATRE
Show: Impostor
Impostor is a conversation with one’s alter ego, imaginary yet apparently real. An exercise in contemplation and observation, a meditative piece where the struggle for balance is the goal. A celebration of Andre Mello’s incredible sculptures set in a beautiful light installation.
