Location
Studio Centro de Arte Moderna GulbenkianOn an bare stage, this performance explores the connections between music and dance, immateriality and physicality, offering an immersive experience for the audience. A single musical note sets off a journey, distorting our perception of time and space. The past blends with the present, and boundaries fade away.
Created in 2025, Orage is a duet between the choreography and body of Dalila Belaza and the music of composer and guitarist Serge Teyssot Gay. The performance is part of the 6th edition of Transborda – Almada International Performing Arts Festival.
Dalila Belaza was a finalist in the first edition of the Salavisa European Dance Award (SEDA) in 2024.
Biographies
-
Dalila Belaza
Dalila Belaza seeks a utopian space where the personal and the universal converge. For 20 years, she has distinguished herself as a performer and artistic partner to her sister, choreographer Nacera Belaza. Together, they explore the body’s deep memory and dance as an inner journey. In late 2020, Dalila Belaza founded hiya compagnie, with the aim of ensuring the development and sustainability of her personal projects. Since then, she has created four performances: Au cœur, Figures, Rive, and Orage. Through her art, Dalila Belaza establishes intersections between the memory of folk rituals and the gestures of contemporary dance.
