In Super B, Oblivia is embarking on a new adventure: to question and explore the remains of theatricality in the performing arts. Super B is not about presenting or representing these remains. And it is not about taking the audience on a museum tour. (more…)

Oblivia have already explored the concepts of reason and emotion in their Museum of Postmodern Art and Super B. While the first two installments examined the past and the traces of it left in the present, Ka-Boom travels into the future and turns to look at the present day from this new vantage point. (more…)

Marlene Monteiro Freitas: GUINTCHE – CANCELLED!

Energy, dance, vitality. In constant reversal, in perpetual rhythm of percussion. Rapid spotlights follow gestures and movements as they arise in the arena of the feminine and gradually transform into animalistic in their untamed and sensual expression.

All differences vanish away in dance.

Angolan/Portuguese musician, producer and DJ Pedro Coquenão (aka Batida) has, in the last few years, managed to provoke such widespread interest that he rarely finds himself off the club and festival stage – few performers can boast appearances at music expos as diverse as Eurosonic, Womex and Babel Med, and only Jambinai, DG guests last time round, can begin to match the global interest, outside pop circles, that Batida is currently enjoying.
