- "Risco Coletivo"

Performance workshop, where all participants carry out the work collectively, through simple tasks, we create a collective drawing, which unfolds without pretension into a collective dance, creating a subtle bodily state of attention and coordination.

This work is part of long-term neuroscience research carried out by the Choreographer, where he, through simple tasks, makes participants perceive another bodily, mental and emotional state.

- "morte vida sonho"

8 bodies dance through a ritual, creating a spatial vortex that moves the structures of the body and its psyche. They spiral the perception of time and reinvent the notion of the real and the present. Exploring our memories and, at the same time, creating a new movement towards a forgotten future.

A dance piece that seeks the unknown or some extinct record of our own humanity.
