Assimétrico

Beatriz Valentim

Assimétrico is a dance duet created by Beatriz Valentim and co-created with Miguel Santos, inspired by the performances of David Byrne (Talking Heads). Conceived as an ongoing game of rhythm, space and movement, the performance explores the dialogue between music and dance, with the bodies driven by the power of sound. Aimed at teenagers, the project draws on their collective energy and involves local young people through workshops in each city, ensuring that every performance carries a unique identity.

The performance takes to the stage at Theatro Circo’s Pequeno Auditório on 3 October at 6pm. Find out more here.
