ONE, TWO, TREE AND NOW YOU ARE A TREE!
Pparticipatory circus performance, created by Ana Jordão & Vincent Kollar and Krista Burāne & Mārtiņš Eihe.
Duration: 60 mins
In this playful collective experience, the contemporary circus duo Ana Jordão & Vincent Kollar, will join forces with participatory theatre makers Krista Burāne and Mārtiņš Eihe, alongside a local community of tree enthusiasts, to explore the deep connection between humans and their rooted companions – the trees.
Through highlighting care and the search for balance in our tangled relationship to nature, the project will weave together the voices of people who recognise the nature of trees in themselves. One two three, and now you are a tree! is an ode to the intricate web of all living things, human and non-human alike.

ASSOMBROSAS CRIATURAS
Performance, created by Ana Jordão and Vanessa Oliveira
Duration: 15 mins
Accepting the invitation from Camões Instituto da Cooperação e da Língua (PT) to represent Portugal in the Night of European Literature (an evening dedicated to emerging European writers), I was commissioned to create a short performance based on João Tordo's novel "A Mulher que correu Atrás do Vento". Here I was working once again alongside the multitalented Vanessa Marques Oliveira, to transform words into movement and sound, in a performance that pays tribute to the depths of the female figure.
Produced by: Camões Instituto da Cooperação e da Língua (PT) and Goethe Institut
Reviews in: TimeOut, Diário de Notícias, RTP Notícias and Deus Me Livro.

CHAMA DO MAR / FLAME OF THE SEA
Contemporary circus with live music, created by Ana Jordão, André Imaginário, Vanessa Oliveira, Ariana Jordão
Duration: 60 mins.
Man subjected to the forces of nature. Alone, in the sudden fog, left to the fado and the wind, seeking sustenance. Is this his feat? The uncertain return, the impending storm, the gaze upon the horizon. Fishermen, weavers of worlds, adrift, ready-to-let moorings. Stories are not told without someone to tell them.
Chama do Mar is a contemporary circus performance, inspired by the maritime culture of Ílhavo, the tradition of cod fishing and its people. Setting sail from the core of a man to the collective memory, returning to reclaim the fisherman's essence and his inner epic of thoughts, worries and hopes.
Produced by: BÚSSOLA & Leme Festival de Circo Contemporâneo, Ílhavo (PT)

DÉCORPS D'INTÉRIEUR
Contemporary circus duo, created by Ana Jordão & Jeanine Ebnöther Trott
Duration: 20 mins
Two inseparable bodies.
This piece creates metaphorical space that suggests that two bodies are one person. It is a physical reflection on our internal negotiations and duality, where the interaction between these seemingly contradictory sides is translated into movement, into manipulation, into dance, into a fight.
A poetic universe based on the simplicity of gesture and action, where harmonic moments,
as well as conflicts, can be born. The repetition and duration of actions contribute to dramatic tension. The story is
constantly fluctuating between unity, distance, rupture and interdependence.
Supported by: Circus Next (shortlisted), Cirqu' Aarau (CH), Zirkusquartier Zürich (CH), InSpiral Budapest (HU), INAC (PT), Stadt Zürich Kultur (CH), Menų Spaustuvė Arts Printing House (LT), La Cascade Pôle National des Arts du Cirque (FR), Circuscentrum (BE)
Artistic Outside Eyes: Gustavo Hjerl and Roman Müller.
