Catarina Miranda

The empty stage is intersected by a protocol of coordinates, describing and incorporating a sequence of events, and establishing a scenic time zone. The starting point to develop the body’s sensitive experience is a contemplation exercise in which a lonely character stands in contrast to the line of the horizon. By manipulating plastic materials, one relates and demonstrates the monstrous and human dimensions of a body-skin-flesh.


Catarina Miranda has been developing and presenting creative projects mostly for the stage, employing languages that intersect dance, voice, set design and lighting, addressing the body as a means of hypnagogic transformation and awareness of the present. She presented the plays “Boca Muralha”, “Reiposto Reimorto”, “Shark” and “Ram Man” at several venues and festivals, including Materiais Diversos, Circular Festival, Teatro Municipal do Porto, Dock11 (Berlin), Dance Box (Kobe/Japan) and Teatro Nacional São João.
