I'd like to dance the same way you park your car is a performance about the political body, a choreographic essay on imagining a utopian body who inhabits the dystopia. A sequence of attempts, failures, and interrupted gestures. The utopian body is the one that has unlearned how to function: a body of suspended action, that does not master space, that does not respond to the urgency of productivity. We live surrounded by bodies that bend, adapt, offer themselves: useful bodies. This one, by contrast, is the body that refuses, until it becomes dysfunctional, obsolete, inefficient. What emerges is the need to pursue the goal of achieving no goal at all and, in that shared failure, to discover another way of being in the world.
— Dimitri, Eliot & Rita

Palcos Instáveis is a space for risk, experimentation, and artistic provocation, where artists at different stages of their careers—young, emerging, or established—test ideas and challenge languages. A project by Instável – Centro Coreográfico, in co-production with Teatro Municipal do Porto, which supports contemporary dance creation in Porto and the north of the country through residencies, grants, and performances at Teatro Campo Alegre.
