Description

What is a problem and how do we discover that it exists?

We start in the void, where there is an unsolved problem, and we set out to discover it on a complex and challenging path. You find problems in your own body and its limitations: How does one deal with these limits, circumventing and finding alternatives? What path is taken to solve the problem in the architecture of our body as a metaphor for the question of the general problem?

The body, curious and insightful, seeks and lends a hand to a path about to be discovered through movement, construction, design and sounds. We constantly seek to activate physical, sensory and emotional responses to overcome problems and find solutions. O que é um Problema? it is a show that takes place on stage, with two dancers, one of whom is also a plastic artist, and a musician, dedicated to the youth audience.

 


 

13 May
Talks

 

#Face to Face
A meeting of researchers and professionals from different areas, which will open new perspectives regarding the reflection on the shows and the themes addressed by their creators. Thinking about Dance in the 21st century, in a transversal way, in terms of different generations and different places of thought is a starting point to open new platforms for understanding dance as a cultural and social phenomenon in contemporaneity, as well as a new form of language that is not only artistic. The guest speakers thus set out for a set of thoughts and discussions, allowing the work not to end in itself. This process implies the closeness of the guest speakers to the works in order for the latter to be the basis of the different reflections
