Circus Rehearsals is the result of an artistic residency at Clube Erva Daninha, Erva Daninha venue, at Espaço Agra. This programme supports performances that are still in the creation phase and have yet to premiere. They are presented here in the format of an open rehearsal, with content and duration still under development. This activity seeks to encourage the creation of contemporary circus and to foster contact between creators, audiences, and programmers in a relaxed and constructive environment. In addition to providing rehearsal space, Erva Daninha offers financial, technical, and communication support to the artists.

La Resa: While suspended, I can contemplate the abyss, my eyes turned upward and my heart open to the lessons that only suspension can teach. I am a modern ascetic, who allows herself to be carried by the flow of life and finds inner peace in the act of renouncing control.

Circus Rehearsals are part of Clube Erva Daninha’s 25/26 programming cycle, with support from the Criatório programme of Ágora – Cultura e Desporto do Porto, E.M., S.A.

Companhia Erva Daninha is supported by the República Portuguesa – Cultura, Juventude e Desporto / Direção-Geral das Artes
