The first Saturday of DDD 25 starts at 11:00 am, at CAMPUS Paulo Cunha e Silva with the workshop Construindo respostas críticas: uma sessão colaborativa para escritores e artistas, guided by Claudia Galhós and the performingborders team, aimed at artists and professionals who write about performing arts.

At 3:00 pm, dance arrives at Mercado do Bolhão with Echoes of the Void, by Helder Seabra. A free 30-minute performance that features interpretation by Afonso Cunha, Deeogo Oliveira and the choreographer himself, in a programming partnership with balleteatro. 


At 5:00 pm, at the Teatro Municipal de Matosinhos Constantino Nery, there is the second presentation of OU, a new work by André Braga & Cláudia Figueiredo, from the company Circolando, with Panaibra Canda.  


Also at 5:00 pm, Jo Castro presents LABIA, at CRL – Central Elétrica, a durational performance-installation of 2h30, where the public can circulate, enter and leave the room.  Starting from queer identity, LABIA proposes a meeting between multidisciplinary artists such as Lui L'Abbate, Rezmorah and ROD. 


At 7:30 pm, the path forks between CRL – Central Elétrica and Teatro Campo Alegre. At CRL – Central Elétrica, it is the turn of Be Dias to present RE.SET  a metaphor for my queer emancipation, where the choreoprapher revisits personal memories related to their family, affectivities, romances and professional experiences and is inspired by the universe of cabaret. At Teatro Campo Alegre, Durarei por Paz e Nunca por Mal, by Mélanie Ferreira & Daniel Matos, is presented. Here, it is proposed a reflection on the solitary process of waiting for something that will always be better shared. 


The beginning of Saturday's evening is spent at Teatro do Campo Alegre with the performances of violetas, by Vânia Doutel Vaz, an intimate piece built on solos by Lua Aurora, Lucília Raimundo, Piny, Wura Moraes and the choreographer herself, and the premiere of BEAUTIFUL, by Ana Rita Xavier & Daniel Conant. A work about places that disturb us and the space between intimacy and collaboration, between subversion and vindication and between friendship and performativity. 


The day ends at TMP Café - Rivoli, with the party-performance SOLTE A SUA FERA, by Coletivo Afrontosas, with free admission. In the darkness between 10:30 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., corporeities meet, translating possibilities of existence
