Due to the unique moment we are experiencing, on April 29th the Companhia de Dança de Almada marks World Dance Day with distance events, in a program that is presented on different on-line platforms.
This celebration, therefore, has a very different approach from what we are used to, with no live presence. It is a new way of being together, to share our love for dance.

"Fobos" (Phobos) | Companhia de Dança de Almada
At a time when dealing with fear seems to want to become essential in everyday life, the Companhia de Dança de Almada restores, on-line, a show of his repertoire that aims to help you understand what scares and why.
“Fobos” (Phobos) was released in May 2017, and resulted from a project that had the support of Ana Macara, professor and researcher at the Instituto de Etnomusicologia – Centro de Estudos em Música e Dança (INET-md), and Maria João Lopes, Master in Programming and Cultural Management by the Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias.
Close your eyes. Take a step forward!, is the invitation launched by Bruno Duarte, choreographer and dancer at Companhia de Dança de Almada
The on-line show will be available until April 6.
6:00 pm (Portugal) / 7:00 pm (Czech Republic)
