Building on the project Confluências, Reverberations is a creation woven from Wura Moraes’ relationship with the archives of her father, Mário Calixto (1960–1997), and her uncle, Miltércio Santos (1963–2024), both dancers. This work encompasses a triad, embracing the presences and absences that compose it, and seeks to explore the dimension of the subconscious and the memories inscribed in her body, inviting them to emerge from the shadows and dance. By evoking connections between life, creation, spiralling time, body and ancestry, it questions concepts of identity, displacement and memory. A co-production with Teatro Municipal do Porto and Teatro Viriato, with artistic residencies at O Espaço do Tempo, Casa da Dança, CRL, Balleteatro, and partners from the Grand Luxe network.
Luso-Brazilian dancer and choreographer Wura Moraes holds a degree from Faculdade Angel Vianna (BR) and has trained at École des Sables (SN), EDIT (BF), and FAICC (PT). In Bahia, alongside Loke Wolf, she develops the research project Autodidança. She created the solo CERN and co-created Aether – Cruzamento with the trio Bode Wilson and Ana Rita Xavier. She has performed as an interpreter for Gil Mac, Dori Nigro, Calixto Neto, and Vânia Doutel Vaz. In co-production with the DDD festival, she created her most recent solos HENDA I XALA and REVERBERAÇÕES, both part of her broader project Confluências, in tribute to her father Mário Calixto (1960–1997) and her uncle Miltércio Santos (1963–2024), both dancers and choreographers.
