Sinopse

Encruzilhada is a choreographic work about celebration as a space for resistance and negotiation as a shared practice. The piece draws on dance archives that question the contemporary, bringing together gestures from the collective imagination and dances that rarely occupy traditional contexts. Collectivity is at the heart of the work, not as an ideal, but as an unstable and necessary practice. In a time marked by fragmentation and competition, moving in a group becomes a political gesture. The performers negotiate presence, friction, and listening, while the audience follows the work as it unfolds. Encruzilhada does not seek perfection but asks how to sustain the space of the other in the face of isolation. — Balé da Cidade de São Paulo

Author's bio text

Balé da Cidade de São Paulo is a meeting place for different dance vocabularies, articulating practices and modes of creation in dialogue with the city and its contexts. Created in 1968 within the scope of the Theatro Municipal de São Paulo, the group has focused its activity on contemporary dance since the 1970s. As a public artistic body, it develops a repertoire that articulates creations and remounts, understood as processes of critical updating, expanding its forms of relationship with the public and with the urban space.
