concepção do projecto:
Este espectáculo de dança contemporânea é co-criado e dançado por Carolina Ramos e Sarah Dillen, tendo a colaboração musical de Tiago Cerqueira que estará presente em palco.
Não acreditamos em coincidências, cremos que tudo acontece por uma razão.
Que influência as outras pessoas têm em nós? O quanto é que influenciamos as outras pessoas?
sinopse:
Coincidências nunca acontecem... E o destino? Será real? Será que podemos realmente modificá-lo ou será que já temos o caminho irreversivelmente traçado?
Somos certamente influenciados por outras pessoas e circunstâncias e influenciamos igualmente os outros mas, poderemos mudar e influenciar os nossos destinos? Será possivel?
A vida não é previsível e existem muitos caminhos para percorrer na nossa existência. E aí, somos livres de escolher, mesmo que avancemos para um determinado fim... O circulo da vida repete-se e em alguns momentos, algures no tempo e no espaço, podemos encontrar-vos e comunicar...

ENGLISH VERSION
concept
A contemporary dance performance co-created and danced by Carolina Ramos and Sarah Dillen with the musical collaboration of Tiago Cerqueira, who plays live onstage.
Our main motivation in making this project together was our similar vision and ideas about life and dance. We were interested in sharing our own personal and professional experiences and creating a body/soul communication through our individual ways of movement.
We were born in different countries (
Our interest is in working with the small experiences of life: the details. We find them to be the very essence of life. Usually these aspects of life are the things that most people forget, but we consider them the most memorable, deep and interesting things to develop in dance.
We are also interested in intuition, spontaneity, sensations and feelings, changes, repetitions, decisions, the influence of other things and people, the circle of life, the cause and effect of actions, the interconnectivity of things, communication and the "here and now".
We are looking for the simple, honest and authentic things in life.
We believe that on life's road we find many doors and windows and that sometimes we just have to make decisions. But maybe most important of all is that we have to be aware and conscious of those things and to trust intensively in our intuition in order to make good choices.
But what is a good choice?
All things and events are transitory and impermanent…
For this choreographic creation we trust very much in intuition, spontaneity and knowledge.
How do we all become the people that we are at this moment? We don't believe in coincidences. We find that everything happens for a reason. Yet what influence do other people have on us and how much do we influence other people?
Every action, independent of its significance, has an effect or leaves a mark on our own being and immediately affects our experience and the world we live in. In this way, for our own existence, the world changes…
We see our work, which is based on improvisation, as something poetic. We wish to delve deep, to look within and find the harmony in our selves and our universe.
In the end, was all of this meant to be?
Coincidences never happen… but what about destiny? Is it real? Can we change it or in the end is it truly meant to be?
For sure we are influenced by other people and circumstances and we influence others as well, but what about changing and influencing our own destinies? Could it be possible?
Life isn't predictable and there are many paths to walk in our existence. We are free to make choices even when we know the ending, but the circle of life always repeats itself and in some moments in time and space we can meet one another and communicate…
