Portrait

An inner journey based on questions about oneself and the exteriorization of thoughts and emotions coming from different ways of looking at one's own image. Rediscovering the body through gesture, sound, painting and will, building imaginary and poetic landscapes in a dance that oscillates between reality, dream and the perception of the performer projecting himself into the world.

"Portrait" is the new creation of LaB inDança, an initiative of the Município de Santa Maria da Feira, with artistic direction of Clara Andermatt, which aims to provide everyone, and in particular people with disabilities, continuous training in contemporary dance, based on the idea of accessibility of the artistic experience, as a value and a right.
