Combining dance and philosophy,“Fuga para o tempo presente – o leve poder da lua apenas queima os olhos” conceives dance as ethos and impermanence, vertigo in the now, finitude of precipitated entities, fragile presence, metamorphosis of the momentary, unrepeatable event.
A mythical experience, of dancing with delirium and ethical rigour the intimate feeling that is made, of centring now the “fingerprint for eternity”, in the face of the disappearance of the human and the natural that geopolitics evidences (Genocide, War, Fascism, Climate Disaster, Exploitation/Domination, Technocracy/Surveillance), murdering the present, activating horror, demanding responses of otherness in the face of threat/end, Exploitation/Domination, Technocracy/Surveillance), murdering the present, activating the horror, demanding responses of otherness to the threat/end, so that dance unbanalises the present evil, the disgust of the monstrous, artistically centred in the heart of Dance. Allowing the rebellion of others in us.
*The project brings together the Portuguese poetic and philosophical legacy of Eudoro de Souza, H. Helder, E. Lourenço, Al Berto, Pessoa, C. Pessanha and the committed Western/Eastern philosophy of Heidegger, Benjamin, Levinas, Foucault, Kierkegaard, Arendt, Weil, Bordieu and Nishida.

Nuisis Zobop
Nuisis Zobop is a structure for creation, experimentation and research in performing arts/dance founded by choreographers and researchers Hugo Calhim Cristóvão and Joana von Mayer Trinidad. It regularly develops research laboratories on the craft and art of the dancer/performer with its own methodology and unique approach, marked by the confluence of languages between Western and Eastern dance and physical theatre. It produces unconventional performance pieces aimed at innovation, always articulating creation, research, training and publishing.
With fourteen creations, four published books, multiple training courses, seminars and congresses organised, as well as two sections/methodologies of stage research in action, Nuisis Zobop seeks the social and artistic appraisal and dignification of dance as an irreplaceable art.
Throughout its trajectory, it has collaborated with key organisations on the Portuguese cultural and academic scene, broadening its artistic horizons with other ways of doing and researching through extended stays in France, Berlin, India and Japan, among other countries.
