KITADA is one of the winning projects of the 4th edition of Projecto CASA, an initiative promoted by O Espaço do Tempo, Centro Cultural Vila Flor / A Oficina, and Cineteatro Louletano.

KITADA is Marga Alfeirão's new choreographic work. Continuing her exploration of female desire and eroticism as sources of memory, the piece takes as its point of departure the massive deforestation of the fifteenth century to build the colonial fleets — the first large-scale package of environmental and industrial policies to systematically target women's knowledge, directly threatening their relationship with, and dependence on, dreams, plants, and landscapes. KITADA unfolds as a rescue mission for the dreams of elder women through the pirate dismantling and reconfiguration of the fleet, a process of tuning. The work is performed by four dancers aged between 45 and 60. Drawing on testimonies from the Recolhimentos do Desagravo of Montemor-o-Novo, the Council of Aunts, and the conscientious objections to voluntary termination of pregnancy recorded at the Hospital of Évora, KITADA investigates the trajectories of feminine cunning.
