Show co-produced by Le Gymnase CDCN and in residence in 2023
Tânia Carvalho, the iconic Portuguese artist with multifaceted forms of expression (including dance, images and music), brings us Versa-vice, a new creation for 10 performers. Her creative process can be summed up as a continual attempt to interpret the language of life and abandon herself until she finds the gesture that echoes it.
