Zumbi Albino (Michel Figueiredo)
This cycle invites the public to dive into artistic discovery and experimentation through a free-entry program that includes workshops in the performing arts, talks and performances.
Since 2020, the close relationship with Moita City Council, through the CEA, has generated fruitful relationships with the local population, establishing itself as a space for experimentation and learning.
PROGRAMME 14.11.2025 (FRIDAY)
JOÃOZINHO DA COSTA
Workshop “See and reproduce” with Joãozinho da Costa
14h30 - 16h00
The exercise consists of creating movements from a visual reference (image). Each participant observes the image for a brief moment and then reproduces their personal reading or interpretation through the body. The main challenge is the limited time to observe and react, stimulating intuition and immediate response. The image, in this context, functions as a starting point - a stimulus that drives the creation of movement.
SARA FRANQUEIRA
Body and scene: more questions than answers
16h00 - 17h30
Mediation session led by Sara Franqueira, coordinator of the BoCA Sub21 and Mutantes-Entre o Teatro e o Museu programs, on contemporary arts, aimed at young students from Moita, which aims to contribute with knowledge and empowerment for the arts.
PROGRAM 15.11.2025 (SATURDAY)
NATACHA CAMPOS
Performance Workshop
15h00 - 17h00
In this workshop, participants are invited to explore, through the body, new relationships between movement and text. Through body practices and poetic experimentation, the group will investigate concepts such as epigyphy, gesture and portrait, opening up space for sensitive perceptions between word and presence. As part of the process, participants will visit Kiluanji Kia Henda’s work “Coral de corpos sem norte”, which had its premiere at the BoCA Bienal in September this year.
ZUMBI ALBINO (MICHEL FIGUEIREDO)
Djset - Performance
18h00 - 19h30
Author of the soundscape for the project “Coral dos Corpos sem Norte”, premiered in September 2025 at the Teatro Nacional D. Maria II and at the MAAT-Museu e Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia, during the BoCA Bienal, Zumbi Albino (Michel Figueiredo) now extends this journey to a DJ set and live performance. Here, sound becomes memory, body and border. Between the desert and the sea, the artist constructs an electronic ritual that invokes the echo of journeys, returns and bodies without direction.
