Melissa Pérez Sousa / COMMON GROUND / TAMBOR - Teatro Municipal do Porto Jump to content Synopsis Unstable Stages After the performances of The ruin is a tall and TAMBOR on Friday, October 2, there will be a conversation with the presence of the artistic teams. Melissa Pérez Sousa / COMMON GROUND TAMBOR October 2026 Premiere Fri 2 Sat 3 Synopsis *TAMBOR* is a solo rooted in autobiographical memories, cultural practices and experiences of migration. On stage, a body seeks intense physical states, invoking codes from Venezuelan folk dance, street dance and clubbing. Between power, resistance and celebration, the choreographic score is drawn from the disarmament of these vocabularies, of rhythm, beat and footwork, with variations of concentration and rupture in space. Symbolisms emerge from the evocation of personal myths that act as engines for the creation of gesture and of an embodied imagination. Inspired by conversations with my mother, *TAMBOR* maps the intimate and social archive, exploring beyond binary logics and tensions of belonging and not belonging. — Melissa Pérez Sousa / COMMON GROUND celebration transmutation trance fragility Joana Rodrigues Schedule and tickets Fri 2.10 19:30 Sat 3.10 21:00 Campo AlegreSala-Estúdio [tickets](
