Curtas de Dança competition is open to all artists and structures that perform dance in its short form, whether these are presented in a live or video format. “Um Pé na Constituição” presents us the work of a dancer, Cláudia Dias, whose battles are fought in the exercise of art, an area of freedom and protest. “Speeches” analyzes the candidates and their respective speeches by the time of 2016 Portuguese presidential elections. In “2 dedos de pesto” a pair of hands cook, but the food goes little by little, gaining life, in a game of survival and domination. “Bound” is a dance-theater solo that explores femininity, persona and restraint. “FRACASSE MELHOR” is to fail. Challenge yourself to fail. And in this case maybe not fail. Escape the context of failure and its definition. “Insólido” explores and seeks the illusion of a stone, a black mass in punctual movement.
Curtas de Dança is organised by Armazém 22 and DDD.
Projects were selected through Open Call.
