Clara Amaral prepared a rather unusual performance; instead of setting up a material publication, the choreographer and a second performer - Sónia Baptista - have memorised the text and orally deliver it to audiences at the Corridors on the 3rd and 4th floors. The performance starts at 6pm.

"To remember a dance by remembering the counts, the space, the feeling. Also, the sweat, the steps and context; to remember the memory of what we remember dancing, the ones that we danced with or imagined while dancing. To remember a dance that we never really danced. Dancing as a fake title, an imagination, fantasy and fiction."

In Portugal, this performance was presented at the Festival Temps D'Image, in Lisboa (2018) and at the Festival Circular, in Vila do Conde (2018).

Clara Amaral was born in Fundão, in 1984. In 2013, she graduated in Choreography by the SNDO (School for New Dance Development), in Amsterdam. In 2014, she received a Grant by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation to take part in the ImpulsTanz, in Vienna, in the scope of the DanceWeb programme.
