DOO
“I was born in Lourenço Marques (actual Maputo) in 1963, Mozambique, Africa. I lived there until I was 12. I danced for the first time in school during the period that the country was becoming independent. It was a revolutionary dance against the oppressive power of the Portuguese colonization.
ANTÓNIO MIGUEL
ANTÓNIO & MIGUEL
by António Tagliarini and Miguel Pereira
When we began to think about this creation, and before rehearsals started, we exchanged some impressions 1 trying to find out in which direction our desire to work together again could take us. ?Ten years ago we met and created a piece, 'Antonio Miguel', a solo done by two, a striking encounter for us personally and professionally.? 2
MY NAME IS GEORGEANNE
Throughout my artistic career I’ve been always confronted with an inevitable contradiction: my time of gestation and creation – a time sometimes dilated sometimes intersected, unpredictable, guided by desires, impulses, by non-linearity and even by indiscipline – enters in constant collisions with the established time, a time too regulated and repetitive.
MIGUEL MEETS KARIMA
Hello Karima,
I'm sorry to give you news sooner but actually I just had a very rushed time with all these travels and works so close. I've been thinking a lot in our collaboration and the way things ends in Rio - for me at least - and I have a very weird sensation of it.

RESISTANCE SOLO
A performance/installation in which the dancer and choreographer Miguel Pereira exercises, over about 3 hours, the limits of physical and mental resistance.
The body needs to acts, the body needs to manifests, the body needs to thinks, the body needs to transform, the body needs to talk, the body needs to dance, the body needs, after all, to resist!

Received a scholarship from the Portuguese Ministry of Culture to continue his studies in Paris (The?a?tre Contemporain de la Danse) and in New York.
