Majeko: Chasing Butterflies
This performance explores the tension between being and striving. In a world that glorifies productivity, the dancers navigate the space between ambition and presence. Through movement, they embody familiar struggles — self-doubt, pressure, and comparison — and pose a central question: Where is the balance between becoming and simply being?

Co-created by the performers, this piece mirrors the human experience, inviting reflection, connection, and the reminder that we’re not alone in this journey.

Iron Skulls: Mirar
Mirar is a duet that explores the relationship between the observer and the observed, questioning how our perception of others shapes the way we see - and exist in - the world. A gaze is never neutral; it weaves meanings, projects stories, and reshapes reality. It is not a passive act, but one that builds and modifies, a constant transformation in which perception becomes creation. What we see is filtered through experience, emotion, and context - revealing as much about ourselves as about what’s right before us.

Kaê Brown Carvalho & Jerson Diasonama: Jogo de Dentro
Jogo de Dentro, literally translated as “the inner game”, tells the story of two individuals bound by a sense of predestined connection. Inspired by an Angolan capoeira game, the piece traces an internal journey from innocence to deeper self-awareness. Rooted in Black Lusophone culture from Brazil and Angola, the duo’s artistic expression explores their shared heritage, transporting us into a sensory, dreamlike universe. Memories resurface and color the present moment, as personal narratives and shared legacies intertwine on stage.
