Cascais

Originally created at the Bourse de Commerce in Paris, Dancehall Weather brings together Argentine choreographer Cecilia Bengolea and her collaborators Craig Black Eagle (Jamaica) and Nika Mad Spirit (Ukraine) in a performance where dance and video archives intertwine. Drawing from Jamaican dancehall — which Cecilia Bengolea sees as a powerful medium for healing — the performance opens with an Early Settings session, a musical moment of reflection and collective energy, before giving way to a liberating shared dance.

BRUXAS - ensaio para a esperança invites audiences into a walk through Cascais where feminism, witch hunts and personal memories intersect and blur. Through fragmented narratives and unexpected voices, the performance unsettles official histories and reflects on hope as a fragile yet transformative gesture.

In a DJ set shaped by fluidity and musical curiosity, Tiago moves across different atmospheres and languages of dance music in a journey that is both physical and immersive. A resident at Lux Frágil since its opening, he has developed an intuitive approach to DJing for over more than three decades, shaped by dancefloor experience and sonic exploration. The video projection of an original drawing by JAS expands this experience. The DJ programme at the Art Explora Festival is curated by Filho Único.
