Quando Cai a Noite… Espetáculo de Dança Interativo

Join us and support the new Truz Truz creation “Quando Cai a Noite…”, an interactive dance performance, for children between the ages of 4 and 8.

Quando cai a noite… is an original creation of Truz Truz, an interactive dance performance aimed at children between the ages of 4 and 8. It is a sequel of the previous Truz Truz…Deixa-me Entrar! performance created in 2011 that had its premiere in Fábrica das Artes, CCB, in 2012. This performance/workshop had a city made of cardboard boxes as a background and ended with the arrival of the night that embraced everyone with its dark mantle. Quando cai a noite… is supposed to give continuity to that time sequence.

In this interactive dance performance, children are invited to enter an imaginary space, becoming simultaneously observer and actor, detaining an artistic look and feel and acting as a major player in the creative experience.

Its main themes are the night and the dichotomy of light/darkness, fears metaphorically represented by a mighty powerful entity, and affections, an association between a loving melody of a dance and the creative presence of joy. It is presented by 3 dancers.

The night comes up as a connecting link to a wild, primitive nature, where silence, listening and observation are privileged in opposition to living each day more agitatedly, typical of the lifestyle of urban spaces.

Quando cai a noite… integrates various artistic languages such as dance, theatre, literature and music, adding a holistic sense to it. The selection of the texts is a result of a wide search of Fernando Pessoa’s nightly poetic universe and a variety of children’s literature books.

The expressive and narrative thematics beneath this performance are the emotions of fear and affection, 2 of the 5 basic emotions of the human being. By getting in touch with them, the child gets involved in a feeling that originates a verbal and physical expression. And by gaining the space needed to live them in a free and well oriented way, the child acquires the confidence needed to face the challenges of growing up.

Quando cai a noite… intends to awake parents and educators to the importance of affection in the process of deconstructing fears and in the creation of a safe bond between the child and the carer.

This crowdfunding campaign aims to support the payment of production costs of “Quando Cai a Noite…”: Original music by Tiago Oliveira; Recording and Copies of the Original soundtrack Cd; Illustration and design of the CD by Joana Rita; Costumes by Catarina Morla; Scenery by Ateliê Encaixe; Lighting; Recording and editing of a promotional video by Miguel Barriga.

About the author

Truz Truz is a pedagogical and artistic project. Its main goal is to create and produce performance and workshop dance encounters for the infant audience.

Its was born in 2011 as a result of the questioning about the value and the importance of the artistic education, specially dance, in the child’s development since its early years, in which gesture and sounds are the main communication means with the surrounding world till its 12 years of age, when the verbal language, cognitive thinking and creativity are the main tools to explore movement and dance. Truz Truz aims to develop in the child an approach to the aesthetic and artistic universe of dancing and the performing arts, stimulating the development of artistic abilities, and promoting expressiveness, sensibility and intuition. One of its goals is to promote moments of discovery and use of the body and the world as well as an opening to sensitiveness for topics such as sustainability through the use of recycled materials.

Truz Truz was created by Ana Beatriz Degues and Patrícia Vieira. In 2017 one new element was added to the team, Ana Santos. It was the course “Dança na Comunidade”, from Fórum Dança that introduced us to each other and from there on this dream grew stronger. To know more about us, please check the CV’s in anexed file.

Truz Truz focuses on creating interactive dance performances, develops Parent&Child workshops and Creative Dance regular classes.

It can be integrated in many cultural programs and goes to schools to enhance its artistic activities.
