The first semester of ACCCA opens with two premieres: BULUKU, a performance for young audiences by Djam Neguin, and the premiere of the faithful revival of O CANSAÇO DOS SANTOS, a work originally created in 1992 and now presented again in co-production with Lugar Presente. DO TERREIRO AO MUNDO continues its national tour. The programme also includes a training component, with a workshop led by Clara Andermatt in Madeira, as well as the continued development of Estúdio ACCCA as an active hub for welcoming and supporting the artistic community.
BULUKU, a creation by the young Cape Verdean artist Djam Neguin, is hosted and produced by ACCCA as part of its strategy to promote and accompany new creators, continuing its close relationship with Cabo Verde and with artists from that territory. Conceived for young audiences, the project includes mediation activities that strengthen audience engagement, and also benefits from the artistic consultancy of Clara Andermatt, who accompanies the creative development of the work.
The programme also includes the revival of O CANSAÇO DOS SANTOS, in co-production with Lugar Presente. Originally created in 1992, this landmark work of Portuguese contemporary dance returns in a faithful reconstruction, performed by semi-professional dancers and trainees, establishing itself simultaneously as both an artistic and a training project.
In parallel, Clara Andermatt provides choreographic consultancy for the project TÊTE-À-TÊTE, a collaborative creation by Ana Jezabel, Ángela Diaz Quintela and Daniela Salazar, within the framework of support for young creators, accompanying their creative process.
The national tour of DO TERREIRO AO MUNDO, a work by Clara Andermatt inspired by the tradition of the Pauliteiros and produced by Companhia Instável, also continues, with performances in Covilhã and Ourém.
On the training front, Clara Andermatt will lead a workshop in Madeira with the group Dançando com a Diferença. Throughout the semester, Estúdio ACCCA will continue to serve as an active hub for artistic creation, residencies, training, exchange, and artistic mediation.
