Rubble King / Duarte Valadares

Rubble King introduces a short attention span, an investigative creature of the archetype. An entity in a sandbox, a place of unlimited information, an excessively productive circuit looking for archetypes to feed on. Various states through shifting attention and dodging the conclusion, a rational ridicule.

VANISHING / Beatriz Valentim and Bruno Senude

Choreographing the invisible, destroy the cycles: now you see me, now you don't, you disappear inside me, I disappear inside you - you who are seeing me. We find in-between spaces: un-looking, un-formatting, projecting desires, nightmares, dust.

One or two bodies, six at most. It's a long yesterday is an exercise in desire, fracture and multiplication.

Do Terreiro ao Mundo / New Creation by Clara Andermatt

Do Terreiro ao Mundo is a dance that traverses time. Its steps trace threads of faith, struggle, and craft. What begins in the churchyard extends beyond, carried in body and memory, forging new paths, becoming change, and a living force. It is here.
