Rasto
Event
“De Volta à Praça” [Back to the Square) is the “street performer” project that unites Teatro Nacional São João with Coliseu Porto Ageas, also involving several municipalities OF the Northern region. Three shows –Coliseu do Porto’s Circus and two more or less circus-like projects by companies from the city co-produced by TNSJ – will be presented in Porto, circus-lating then across Terras de Basto, Arcos de Valdevez, Marco de Canaveses, Cinfães, Paços de Ferreira and Santo Tirso, after which they will return and occupy several Porto’s squares, at the start of a new season. Companhia Erva Daninha presents “Rasto”, a show between dance and acrobatics, which uses the daring of a tractor as a scenographic element, in a production that looks at the relationship between body and machine, but also the way in which the rural and the urban are inextricably linked. Each performance will be accompanied by circus and puppetry workshops, created to explore the oral traditions and narratives of each of the lands on this travelling project.
