RICARDO MACHADO is a choreographer and regular performer in multiple contexts of the contemporary performing arts, usually integrating transdisciplinary research centers in an artistic co-creation regime. The great motor of his artistic presence is invariably the movement, and his area of creation, dance - in pure formal situations (the theater room), but also in those dictated by the space and context of creation itself.

MADALENA VITORINO Is a choreographer, a teacher and a programmer. She has lived in Portugal and in the last three decades her work has been evidenced by the creation of many cultural and artistic projects with a community dimension that are always aimed at the approach between discourse and artistic practice and society in general. She creates multiple choreographic pieces that often involve people of different ages and with very different life experiences and professional interpreters.

Since then, he has been presenting his plays in Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Ukraine, Israel and Brazil. He is the founder of PARCA, a platform for artistic creation and diffusion.
