Drawing on ideas of hauntology and post-historical melancholy, Blissfully is a new choreographic research project exploring an urgent contradiction of today: on one hand, the body’s desire for excess and intimacy; on the other, the privileged impulse to withdraw from a world in which the imagination of alternatives appears exhausted.

Heroas do Mar is a project by As Docinhas that brings together music, performance, and visual arts to rethink punk as an aesthetic, political, and identity-driven force. Rooted in the legacy of Portuguese punk after the Revolution, the work builds bridges to the digital present, exploring new forms of resistance in the face of contemporary alienation.

Were depth a surface is a speculative choreographic fiction that follows a human community’s encounter with an unknown life form. Its presence gradually reshapes the group’s social organization and mutual perception, distorting their senses, physiology, and language.

I-HÓN emerges as a solo situated at the intersection of comedy and tragedy, the intimate and the political. It is a performative reflection on what persists and what transforms when the body attempts to dance between worlds, languages and memories.
