On July 6, 1808, the “Bom Sucesso” caique and 18 fishermen left Olhão, Portugal, towards Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, taking with them the good news that Portugal was finally free of Napoleon’s enemy troops. However, when facing a great storm, the men lose their way and end up in an enchanted kingdom, where a fantastic Sea Creature falls in love with the boat and tries to save it from a sinister Monster working for the enemy.

In a space marked by ambiences and aesthetics that refer to the universe of brutalism, abstractionism and surrealism, three bodies cohabit in parallel realities. We see how their relationships, habits and particularities materialize in interactions, which force a mutual permeability, as they design choreographic compositions.
Through juggling and physical theater, the aim is to transport to the scenic space both the dimension of the interior space and the external exaltation of these characters.

CIRCUS WORKSHOP (Pt-En)
Oliveira & Bachtler

July 23rd / Parque das Águas Romanas, Penela / 10:30 - 12:30 am

From 6 years on

This workshop aims to approach the universal principles that govern the performing arts and their applications through artistic exercises. We use circus arts and physical theater as means of expression and development of the individual and the community both on a physical and cognitive level, thus seeking to develop an awareness of the mechanisms that allow the participant to articulate and project their unique voice in the scenic space.
