Sinopse

Catarina Miranda is the guest choreographer for Companhia Instável’s new 2026 creation. Her research interweaves movement, scenography and light, approaching the body as a receptacle of transformation and of the visceral awareness of the present. ЯΛ́ЯΛ is a creation for five performers centred on the power of dance and musical phenomena in collective celebrations, inspired by the Entrudo of Galicia and Northern Portugal, the Rara festivities of Haiti, and the Urso Macaco Louco of Pernambuco’s Carnival — evoking soundscapes and a collective body that moves between machine, animal and instrument.— Companhia Instável
