The internationally recognised Catalonian artists Aurora Bauzà and Pere Jou show their work in Portugal for the first time. They introduce us to the fascinating, immersive, transdisciplinary language they have developed at the boundary between dance and music, in which vocal physicality and stage presence merge. The setting provides body and resonance, shaping an immersive experience that amplifies the choral and choreographic dimensions of the piece.

“A Beginning” is a journey between darkness and light, where body, voice and light are woven together in a sensory, vocal choreography. Five dancer-singers bearing portable lamps breathe, walk and talk, in a composition where the body that sings dissociates itself from the body that moves. The piece connects visual movement and resonant sound, opening up space for a reflection on the tension between the individual and the collective, the intimate and the monumental.
