Bouchra Ouizguen’s dance performance, created with the dancers of Dançando com a Diferença, explores themes of tenderness and non-normative bodies. The piece is built from simple gestures inspired by the elements, with each performer embodying unique characteristics—Bárbara as bird and nest, Sofia as water and queen, Sara as sun, Telmo as earth and stability, and Joana as suspension and angel. The performance uses minimalistic movement to reflect broader ideas about identity and the natural world, creating a space for contemplation and connection. Ouizguen leads the artistic direction, with lighting by Cristóvão Cunha, sound by Marcio Faria and Ouizguen, and costumes and set design also by Ouizguen. This collaborative approach ensures a cohesive vision that unites visual, auditory, and physical elements into a unified experience. The performance is part of a larger effort to bring contemporary dance to wider audiences and to highlight diverse perspectives within the art form. The performance will take place from 8 to 10 October 2026 at Chaillot—National Theatre of Dance as part of the Autumn Festival in Paris. It is a co-production with the theatre and the Fundação de Serralves (DDD-Dias da Dança Festival), Alkantara (in collaboration with the Belém Cultural Center), and Teatro Viriato. The production is supported by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation—Delegation in France and the Hermès Enterprise Foundation, which underscores its significance in the contemporary dance world. Ouizguen is a laureate of the international residency program Ville de Paris aux Récollets, which provides artists with opportunities to develop their work in a supportive environment.
