THEATER FOREVER: FRESH MOVES
A night with some fresh new talent from across Europe! In 'Power of Recall', Elise Richards & Aleyna Demir explore friendship, play and miscommunication through raw, expressive movement. Majeko’s 'Chasing Butterflies' delves into the struggle between striving and simply being, in a world that demands constant motion. In 'Mirar', Iron Skulls unravel how perception shapes reality — how what we see is always colored by who we are. And in 'Jogo de Dentro', Kaê Brown Carvalho & Jerson Diasonama fuse hip hop and capoeira in a journey through their shared cultural roots.

Elise Richards & Aleyna Demir: Power of Recall
A raw and playful duet exploring friendship, miscommunication, and the rhythms that hold us together. Rooted in hiphop, the piece blends various styles into a language of repetition and transformation. 'Power of Recall' moves between frustration and laughter, vulnerability and connection.

Majeko: Chasing Butterflies
This performance explores the tension between being and striving. In a world that glorifies productivity, the dancers navigate the space between ambition and presence. Through movement, they embody familiar struggles — self-doubt, pressure, and comparison — and pose a central question: Where is the balance between becoming and simply being? Co-created by the performers, this piece mirrors the human experience, inviting reflection, connection, and the reminder that we’re not alone in this journey.

Iron Skulls: Mirar
'Mirar' is a duet that explores the relationship between the observer and the observed, questioning how our perception of others shapes the way we see - and exist in - the world. A gaze is never neutral; it weaves meanings, projects stories, and reshapes reality. It is not a passive act, but one that builds and modifies, a constant transformation in which perception becomes creation. What we see is filtered through experience, emotion, and context - revealing as much about ourselves as about what’s right before us.

Kaê Brown Carvalho & Jerson Diasonama: Jogo de Dentro
'Jogo de Dentro', literally translated as “the inner game”, tells the story of two individuals bound by a sense of predestined connection. Inspired by an Angolan capoeira game, the piece traces an internal journey from innocence to deeper self-awareness. Rooted in Black Lusophone culture from Brazil and Angola, the duo’s artistic expression explores their shared heritage, transporting us into a sensory, dreamlike universe. Memories resurface and color the present moment, as personal narratives and shared legacies intertwine on stage.
