Noite do Circo

A part of oneself is a vertical crossing which relates the journey of a life, and shows the individual beyond the acrobat. Circular and in proximity, in a refined space reduced to the man, the mast and the circle, João Paulo Santos deploys a dense and powerful choreography, made of refrains and stretched time. As if on a strip, without ever touching the ground, it tests its tackle, and allows us to see the Chinese mast as we rarely see it. Sit down, let yourself go, the body tells you the story of the soul.

We represent everyday life, the time we sometimes spend on the couch can be much more productive than we think. Through this furniture object that we all know and have an affinity for, let's see the evolution of two people who have the common goal of seeing, touching, catching Kairós. Choreographic, precise and aesthetic moments. A work of musicality and detail is the foundation of our bodily search. This project falls within the area of ​​performing arts, the meeting between circus and dance, More precisely, floor acrobatics, contemporary dance and hip hop. This creation is designed to represent indoors and outdoors. In spaces not dedicated areas, such as libraries, churches, museums, gyms, gardens.
