Suspended Chorus by Silvia Gribaudi

12 & 13 May | 7:30pm

Space Upstairs | Tickets €24/22

In the solo Suspended Chorus, choreographer and performer Silvia Gribaudi takes to the stage all by herself. But she is not alone. Aware of the shared space between performer and audience, and driven by a desire for togetherness, Gribaudi invites the spectators to become an integral part of the work – a suspended, shifting chorus. 

Inspired by female dance pioneers like Isadora Duncan, Pina Bausch and Anna Pavlova, Gribaudi asks simple, urgent questions: What moves us? What cages us? Who decides what a dancing body should look like?

DDF2026 – PUFF – Alice_Ripoll © Camille_Blake – 9

Puff by Alice Ripoll & Hiltinho Fantástico

15 & 16 May | 7:30pm

Space Upstairs | Tickets €24/22

Puff is a magnetic solo exploring the idea of disguise as a way of carrying silenced cultures, traditions and ancestral knowledge of the African diaspora. Alone on stage, the extraordinary Hiltinho Fantástico channels the rich inheritance of Afro-Brazilian dance. 

He calls up movement rooted in Passinho – an urban dance style born in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro – alongside samba and capoeira. Creating illusionary effects, his body appears both familiar and otherworldly, shifting from swagger to softness and mastery to surrender.
