Festival ao Largo, Lisbon

The Festival ao Largo returns to its original venue, at the Teatro Nacional de São Carlos square, between 9 and 28 July, with a diverse program. From 22 to 24 July, the Companhia Nacional de Bailado (National Ballet of Portugal) presents the most recent works in its repertoire, namely "Shostakovich Pas-de-Deux", by Yannick Boquin; "The Future", by Hans van Manen; and "O Canto do Cisne", by Clara Andermatt.

The piece, created by Andermatt in 2004 for the extinct Ballet Gulbenkian, is back on stage with a new cast and the collaboration of the original artistic team.
