Workshop with Né Barros
Within the scope of Zonas de Sombra
September

Sinopse
In this workshop, we will create a short performance based on what we call ‘shadow’. We will explore the shadow both metaphorically and physically, opening up its many meanings. The shadow, which evokes both absence and presence, creates a space that is a trace, a foundation and a memory. Through improvisation and composition, the performance will emerge as the culmination of gestures and movements that take shape and project us into zones of shadow. — Né Barros
