This performance was born from a grandmother’s desire to share her work as a choreographer with her grandchildren. They came and became co-creators of an idea that didn’t exist before.
Everyone—musicians, performers, a set designer, and these two children—created this CHÃO DE MENINOS, the name of a small place in the municipality of Sintra. It speaks of laughing snow, a little fable drowning in white, playful bears, and a carpet garden emerging from a shipwreck. The creator of difficult things pushed the performance into three new seasons: animals, snow, and flowers; and music floods everything. The children take over the ground to invade, move, and occupy it. They laugh through this dance and music performance, a manifestation of their strength, which will only continue to grow.
