On the 20th of April, the Companhia de Dança de Almada joins the Banda da Academia Almadense to celebrate 50 years of the 25th of April, the Carnation Revolution, with the premiere of a solo work choreographed and performed by the dancer Vítor Afonso.
About “a silent echo”, the author says it is “a space in which we deal with internal conflicts, in a conversation with ourselves or with others, in a search for freedom of action and expression”. And it asks about self-knowledge of the individual’s right to opinion, motivations and triggers.
Vítor Afonso, born on the island of Madeira, began his training on the professional course at the Conservatório Escola das Artes, before joining the Escola Superior de Dança de Lisboa. Together with the Madeira Ballet Theater - MBT collective, he presented several works in several cities in Russia. He has been a member of the Companhia de Dança de Almada since 2021.
