Caem Calhaus do Céu [Pebbles Fall from the Sky] is an inward-looking dance that reflects upon the notions of individuality, identity and creation in relation to time. I remove myself from this pile of dirt and huge stones, I unearth my hand, followed by my arm, my leg, until my entire body is out. I look myself in the mirror and search for transparency, but there’s plenty of dust, scratches, and traces of pebbles. I’m full of strata and layers. I wonder about me, about what I was before, and about what I am after. Here’s the answer, shared live via body, via word, in a safe space where sharing prevails, as well as a good cup of tea. — João Oliveira
