All dates

Caravanserá is a participatory performance combining dance, music and visual elements, inspired by the work of Brazilian artist Maria José Ciríaco.<br>

Drawing on the idea of “caravanserais”, historical places of rest and encounter, the project creates a temporary space of gathering, exchange and celebration. The performance unfolds as a collective event without a defined stage or audience, where participants and performers share the same space.<br>

The work brings together dancers, musicians and a diverse intergenerational group, including a community of older participants, creating a dynamic and inclusive environment. Through movement, sound and interactive objects, the audience is invited to actively engage, transforming the experience into a shared and evolving moment.<br>

At the Art Explora Festival, Caravanserá becomes a meeting point for audiences and performers, where participation, play and collective expression are at the centre of the experience.<br>
