All Events at this Venue

1 – 5 September

Choreographer Ruth Childs and visual artist Cécile Bouffard explore guilty pleasures, hobbies and obsessions in an installation-performance for three dancers: Cosima Grand, Marta Capaccioli and mona mioca felah. Blending gestures and objects, Such a Devoted Bunch examines mechanisms of devotion and collective ritual, turning ancestral and anecdotal practices into material for community and shared enthusiasm. The work gathers a whimsical cluster of bodies and forms that respond, repel and embrace, offering a tactile, intimate theatrical experience.

Thursday 10 September, 21:30

Choreographed by Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira, Repertório N.2 investigates dance as a practice of self-defence. Conceived during the 2021 pandemic, the piece intensifies a trilogy’s first instalment through sustained, frenetic movement and charged proximity. Audiences are placed around the performers, their attention made central as the artists fix them with a confronting gaze. Static, voguing-inspired poses punctuate the work—stillness becomes a concentrated power, always on the verge of impact.

Friday 11 September, 21:30

Choreographed and performed by Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira, Repertório N.3 closes their trilogy with a mischievous, incisive dance that uses irony and mockery as modes of resistance. Created after Bolsonaro’s 2022 defeat, this final chapter swaps the martial frontal energy of earlier pieces for playful, provocative gestures: naked, unmiked bodies and no music foreground look, pride and sly humor. Invoking social media codes and viral culture, the duo interrogates how queer and racialized bodies are seen, exposed and consumed.

Saturday 12 September, 21:30

Choreographed by Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira, Repertório N.1 makes dance an act of self‑defense. Drawing on voguing, ballroom culture, capoeira and queer community codes, the piece transforms the body into a territory of resistance, turning the gesture of a firearm back against the power it symbolizes. Performed without music, the work relies on breath, the impact of steps and the scrape of sneakers, moving between stillness, vogue poses and sudden, frenzied accelerations.
