Sinopse

Conto Preto is a choreographic work that intertwines the spiritualities of Candomblé with the powerful identity of ballroom culture, creating a space for evocation, celebration, and resistance of Black and queer bodies. Drawing on sacred rhythms such as ijexá, atabaque, and agogô, sound, body, and memory become means of communication with the orixás and ancestry. In its encounter with ballroom, a contemporary rituality emerges, in which each performance is a political gesture of affirmation. Performed by three artists from the Portuguese scene, Conto Preto celebrates identity and art as a sacred space. — Nala 


Palcos Instáveis é um espaço de risco, experimentação e provocação artística, onde artistas em diferentes fases de percurso – jovens, emergentes ou consagrados – testam ideias e desafiam linguagens. Um projeto da Instável – Centro Coreográfico, em coprodução com o Teatro Municipal do Porto, que apoia a criação em dança contemporânea no Porto e Norte do país, através de residências, bolsas e apresentações no Teatro Campo Alegre.
