for Almada Dance Company
After “Dentro do Abraço” (Within an Embrace), Ca.DA proposes to produce the second edition of the Itinerant Choreographic Laboratory project with a new creation by Bruno Duarte.
Conceived to provide the community with the experience of the direct contact with the process of artistic creation of a contemporary dance piece, the Itinerant Choreographic Laboratory was designed to benefit the artistic, social and pedagogical dimensions of the intervening associations, surrounding communities and the public. It has characteristics of itinerancy that establish it as a form of decentralization of art and the development of new audiences.
This will be a work where the real memories of the dancers and the participants of the community, here also performers, around the theater as a physical space, practice and concept. In “SCENA”, the stage is no longer just a space where reality is suspended and assumes the role of a memory box, in a celebration of the farce and the artifice.
