Companhia Erva Daninha features "Vão", jointly presented with Teatro Nacional São João under the Bolsa de Apoio à Criação 5 Sentidos, at Theatre Carlos Alberto, on 20, 21 and 22 December.

This performance brings contemporary circus to the stage, presenting a dialogue between different performing arts, by researching new ways of making and presenting circus, imbued with ideas and emotions.

"A contemporary circus performance where risk and illusion guide us through the acrobatics and object manipulation, challenging the audience in an intense and unpredictable atmosphere".

This performance brings together two creators: Vasco Gomes, juggler and the artistic director of Erva Daninha, and Leonardo Ferreira, an acrobat who recently graduated from the National Centre for Circus Arts (France).
