"Synchronicity" showcases the expertise and excellence of French craftsmanship, choreographed by Maud Le Pladec. This revival of the historic creation will offer the opportunity to relive this exceptional moment, followed by Marco da Silva's explosive piece, Ferreira a Folia.

“a Folia” by Marco da Silva Ferreira (2024)

With "A Folia," Marco da Silva Ferreira explores the notion of ecstasy, the joy and trance that emanate from a moment of dance shared by a group. In Portugal, the folia is a 15th-century folk dance. Historical accounts of it all speak of a festive atmosphere where everyone expresses themselves freely, unconstrained by social conventions related to gender or class. It is this idea that interests the Portuguese choreographer, who seeks to translate it by juxtaposing the Portuguese folia with contemporary club dances.
