JOÃO LIMA

This choreographic project focuses on exploring the concept of community in the modern world. Through the formation of a choir that incorporates both voice and movement, it delves into the concepts of unison, dissonance and polyphony as modes of social harmony. The research process will culminate in an original performance combining stage, sound and visual arts.

João Lima is a performer, choreographer and educator who works with various artistic organisations. His collaborators include stage artists such as AzkonaToloza, Marcela Levi and Lucía Russo (Improvável Produções), and Cecilia Colacrai. In 2002, he was awarded Best Actor by the Association of Performing Arts Producers of Pernambuco. He has also taught at numerous institutions and created works presented in venues across Europe and Latin America.
