Is it truly impossible to fathom our dreams? Tânia Carvalho navigates a path between day and night, conjuring up elements that haunt our nights, and enjoying herself while doing so. Dance is the mode of expression for the visual and musical artist from Portugal who has now composed a series of tableaux vivants featuring seven creatures from the dream world: tragic, Beckett-like clowns, burlesque, baroque or reminiscent of the Caravaggisti. As the musical coryphaeus, she provides the piano accompaniment, challenging Chopin with her own compositions.

Tânia Car¬valho was seen for many years as an artistic guerrilla, has retained her early folly with the freedom of imagination that can inspire the powerful writing of works for large ensembles: a rich and lively architecture of bodies dressed in curious costumes that she designed with great wit and imagination. Remarkable! Intriguing!
