Max Oliveira // Corpo+Cidade 2025
Parque da Pasteleira
A piece where dance and music transcend the limits of traditional languages, fusing the expressiveness of urban dances with the richness of traditional Portuguese music and the pulsating rhythms of breakbeat. Through a creative game of fits and possibilities, the piece challenges the audience to complete their own puzzle, discovering, throughout the performance, the spaces of harmony and collision between cultures, styles and sounds. With a profoundly original approach, P_Z_L_S celebrates fusion as a universal language, transporting spectators to an immersive experience of innovation and cultural identity.
