Our Works
Show Do Café
Show do Café speaks of the processes of coffee from Brazil to Aotearoa and the experiences of being away from your community until finding a chosen family.
It is about community, hospitality, indigeneity, colonialism and finding a new home in this new world.
The audience is fully immersed in the show where they eat and drink with us. The feeling of the show is warm and embracing.
A tribute to all immigrants away from home.
Gates to Memory
The memories from our past are stored in our bones.
Gates to Memory is a dance duo that aims to discover ancestral connections and the tension that comes with carrying and meeting collective memories. Gates to Memory invites audiences to witness the intimate act of remembering—of reclaiming lost stories and forging new ones through embodied performance. It is a call to honour those who came before, to hold space for those yet to come, and to move forward with sharp senses responding to the collective needs.
Gates to Memory is the first directing collaboration between Trinidadian/Canadian choreographer Ella Williams and Brazilian choreographer Stela Dara. The music for the show is designed by incredible sound designers Jeanelle Frontin and Kevin Licorish from Trinidad, and the lighting design is from talented Chilean artist Elekis Peblete Teirney. Gates to Memory is the beginning of many incredible collaborations, blending the crafts of these incredible artists to connect with all of their ancestors' memories.
