This choreographic creation offers a sensory journey through successive mirrors of gestures and bodies, exploring the boundaries between the intimate and the collective, the inside and the outside. With artistic direction by Cláudia Marisa, Catarina Costa e Silva, and Rui Damas, Mise-en-abyme is the result of a collaborative process between the areas of specialization of Dance – Choreographic Composition and Theatrical Creation, from the Master's in Performing Arts, and the Bachelor's in Theater, Light variant, from ESMAE.

Synopsis: Mise-en-abyme: Narratives in Frame invites the audience to immerse themselves in successive mirrors of movements, gestures, and memories. Each choreographic moment is a fragment of an intimate cartography where bodies draw paths, places, and belongings. Between the inside and the outside, the individual and the collective, inhabiting the contemporary world becomes a danced gesture: a way of seeing, feeling, and being.
