Pessoas + Lost

Pessoas by Ricardo Barceló

Pessoas is Pessoa and it's a play finely woven with the material of our dreams, that is, with the words of multiple Pessoa texts, a play that invites us to revisit and resonate with Pessoa. (in Foreword by Jerónimo Pizarro)

Vaivém - Encontro de teatro e dança junior (Shuttle - Junior theatre and dance meeting) is a programme based on the premise that school meets school, bringing together young ballet theatre students and students from other schools. In the context of travelling to other localities or to the Balleteatro, a meeting between students is proposed, based on the presentation of a theatre show, based on texts or adaptations of texts from the National Programme for Portuguese and/or the presentation of a dance show based on the revisiting of important authors/works of national and international contemporary dance.

Lost
Ana Filipa Ferreira

Look around;
Head north;
In 300m turn left;
At the fork, take the most attractive path;
Feeling lost? Don't worry, we all feel lost;
At the traffic circle take the 7th exit;
Keep going until you get nowhere...
