Estranha Forma

Coproduction Le Gymnase CDCN

Hot potato. A woman in an apron peels potatoes to the tune of a fado. Beneath the domestic calm, anxiety simmers. Catarina Barbosa loses control: vegetables fly through the air, her movements become disjointed, the straitjacket bursts open. Endowed with extraordinary flexibility, she becomes a strange form – Estranha Forma – which gradually breaks free and reclaims her body and her desires.


Combined evening with My Future Will Not Be My Past

Open rehearsal of KILL ME GENTLY swan lake a beautiful obscenity, Catarina Barbosa’s forthcoming production, on Friday 2 April at 4.30 pm at the Gymnase
