HOE

A sketch of collective creation by Erva Daninha, Binaural/Nodar and students from Escola Secundária de São Pedro do Sul
A spatio-temporal encounter in the 21st century. XXI, a cross between rural technology and urban tools. Between hoes and smartphones, between sowing and ringtones, between furrows in the earth and drones. Change is what it is, period. Of what we were and what we are, Looking, listening and playing, backwards, forwards, also up and down, between the art of the circus and the art of sounds.

Companhia Erva Daninha is based in Porto and its mission is to create contemporary circus exploring the dialogue between different expressions of the performing arts. Since 2009, the Company’s work has focused on investigating new ways of performing and presenting circus, seeking to elevate the virtuoso to a form of communication of ideas and emotions. The artistic team that makes Erva Daninha is a symbiosis between circus and theater professionals. A crossroads of people and disciplines that make this particular circus, laboratory, subversive and provocative, inspired by real life. An imaginary suspension of those who no longer know how to do anything. People full of desire to speak through action, virtuous by accident. This is how we are, in life and on stage.
