WHAT REMAINS

WHAT REMAINS is a contemporary dance show that explores the relationship between people and the space they inhabit, conceived by choreographers Marina Nabais and Ricardo Machado. This multidisciplinary project, developed in the parish of Trafaria, is a reflection on the transformations of the place and human presence, where the bathing and military past meets the present industrial landscape.
Through a participatory artistic process that involves the local community in creation, training and mediation, the show investigates the marks left by the search for industrial progress, resulting in a place of contrasts. O QUE RESTA questions what remains and what is to come, delving into the essence of now and the role of the people who live and experience the territory.
A journey that navigates through time, drawing a contemporary vision of Trafaria, where the present and the future intertwine.
