DUARTE VALADARES / RUBBLE KING
 
Rubble King introduces a short attention span, archetype probing creature. An entity within a sandbox, Artificial Intelligence Insemination, a place of limitless information, an overly productive circuit searching for archetypes to feed on. This universal body is a viral one, an unfiltered circuit, randomly interrupted by self-satisfaction. Glimpses of real movement structures are present as if hovering clouds and pocking thoughts. Shift, shift, shift, various states through shifting attention and dodging completion, a rational ridicule.

Nascido no Porto, DUARTE VALADARES tem 27 anos e formou-se na Escola Superior de Dança em 2014, reside entre Portugal e Bélgica, pesquisando paralelamente o movimento contemporâneo e urbano. Trabalhou com coreógrafos como AméliaBentes em “Eternuridade”, Gregory Maqomaem “Free”, Emmanuele Hyuhnem “Cribles”, Marco da Silva Fereira em “Land(e)scape”, “Hu(r)mano”, “Brother” e “Bisonte”, Drosha Gherkov em “Neds”, Jonas & Landerem" Adorabilis" e Thiery Smits/Compagnie Thor em "Anima Ardens" e "WaW".

CARMINDA SOARES & MARIA R. SOARES / IT'S A LONG YESTERDAY
 
One or to bodies; six at most.
It’s a long yesterday is an exercise on desire, fracture and multiplication.

CARMINDA SOARES and MARIA R. SOARES are ballerinas and young creators. In 2017, they started working on Qua.se poema [um fragmento] [Near-ly Poem [A Fragment]], co-produced by Teatro Municipal do Porto and Companhia Instável in the scope of the Palcos Instáveis programme.
