Chicória

From this solo piece emerges a colourful figure who never stops, but disappears and talks of spaces between legs and between worlds. This is a work elaborated by intense inner states embodied by space and activated by the imagination and the tension created between the public and the performance. 

In this solo, I journey with those who watch me and evoke their feelings in a blank space in the centre of the theatre, which represents a backyard where I move inside, outside and around it.

Meeting with literature

Collaboration between a choreographer and a writer can lead to the emergence of a large number of combinations. If sometimes the choreographer creates his dance around the work of an author, the writer can also choose dance as the subject of his text.
