"Movement. Intimacy. Resistance."

Overview

Marta Cardoso, a young dancer from northern Portugal, moves through Lisbon with restless energy, between precarious routines, affections, and a daily life in constant imbalance. Dance becomes her refuge and her cry: a space where the body finds freedom and instinct, and where gesture replaces words. When dancing, she feels close to her inner animal.
