BRIGHT HORSES

COMING SOON | 2025
Bright Horses is a dance piece for 6 performers – 3 pairs of siblings – that uses internal and family dynamics to critically reflect on competition in today’s capitalist society. Bringing real life experiences to the stage through a cast with real family relationships, the piece develops 3 choreographic dialogues between siblings who navigate territories that evoke conflict, aggression, grief, separation and affection, illustrating the complexity of family relationships as a microcosm of wider social dynamics.
Artistic direction: Maria R Soares & Carminda Soares
Co-production: O Espaço do Tempo, Cineteatro Louletano and Centro Cultural Vila Flor [as part of Projeto CASA]; and Teatro Municipal do Porto and Cine-Teatro São Pedro de Alcanena
