Choreographed and performed by Davi Pontes and Wallace Ferreira, Repertório N.3 closes their trilogy with a mischievous, incisive dance that uses irony and mockery as modes of resistance. Created after Bolsonaro’s 2022 defeat, this final chapter swaps the martial frontal energy of earlier pieces for playful, provocative gestures: naked, unmiked bodies and no music foreground look, pride and sly humor. Invoking social media codes and viral culture, the duo interrogates how queer and racialized bodies are seen, exposed and consumed.

Created and performed by Diederik Peeters, Confabulations blurs the boundary between reality and illusion. Playing a psychiatrist, Peeters uses archival material, historical narratives and personal testimonies to probe memory, perception and confabulation. The staging mixes shifting visual worlds, forensic references and moments of hallucination to produce an unsettling, lyrical investigation of psychiatry, neurology and neurodivergent experience. Second instalment of a trilogy following Apparitions (2018), the piece invites a vertiginous reflection on truth and remembrance.
