Cristina Planas Leitão presents a creation especially conceived for Serralves em Festa, by invitation of Instável – Centro Coreográfico. The piece stems from her unique choreographic language and will be developed in dialogue with the space, time, and energy of the event. The performance will be carried out by the students of FAÍCC.

Cristina Planas Leitão holds a degree in Dance Performance from ArtEZ and has been building an artistic path as a performer, choreographer, rehearsal director, and teacher. She has performed with choreographers such as Gabriella Maiorino, Isabelle Schad, Catarina Miranda, and Marco da Silva Ferreira, and collaborated with Companhia Instável as rehearsal director in projects by Hofesh Shechter and Gregory Maqoma.
