The Theatro Municipal de São Paulo announced last Sunday (22) the return of the São Paulo City Ballet to Portugal. The Brazilian company will perform at the Teatro Municipal do Porto with the show 'Encruzilhada', choreographed by Renan Martins, on April 8 and 9, as part of the DDD – Dias da Dança Festival. The performances will take place at 9:30 PM at the Rivoli Grand Auditorium, marking the group's international tour as they return to Europe with a recent work from their repertoire. The piece investigates collective movement, exploring relationships of encounter, tension, and negotiation among the performers on stage. Created by Renan Martins, 'Encruzilhada' brings together references from popular dances, collective imagery, and various bodily archives, bringing practices that rarely occupy traditional spaces to the stage. The show focuses on collectivity as a practice in constant construction, with dancers working through dynamics of listening, friction, and coexistence. Tickets cost €12 for the 80-minute performance and can be purchased via the provided link.
