The premiere of the new creation titled MUDA, directed by Clara Andermatt, will take place on May 3, 2024, at 9:30 PM, on the stage of Teatro Aveirense.
The show arises from an invitation by INAC - Instituto Nacional de Artes do Circo to Andermatt, to create a performance that blends different methodologies and languages in the areas of Contemporary Circus and Dance.
MUDA explores performative work in correlation with the aesthetics of silent cinema, highlighting the expression of pantomime, rawness, and grotesqueness to open the doors to fantasy and illusion.
By involving performers from various geographical backgrounds and artistic affiliations, the project celebrates the diversity of knowledge, cultures, and circus practices, enriching the experience, sensitivity, and knowledge of all involved.
