The 'Abril Dança Coimbra' festival is currently taking place in Coimbra, in four of the municipality's cultural facilities - the Convento São Francisco (CSF), the Oficina Municipal do Teatro (OMT), the Teatro da Cerca de São Bernardo (TCSB) and the Teatro Académico de Gil Vicente (TAGV).
According to a statement on the University of Coimbra website, this year the festival has been running since 5 April until tomorrow, 29 April, when World Dance Day is celebrated.
According to the note, "the partnership with the Dias da Dança Festival continues", with new creators being presented, such as Marta Cerqueira, Catarina Miranda or names from the new Portuguese dance, such as Né Barros", with "absolute premieres" of 'SUPER!', by Miguel Pereira, and 'Suores de Mel e a Morte Não Terá Domínio', by Joana von Mayer Trindade and Hugo Calhim Cristóvão. In addition, there was a preview of 'ΛƬSUMOЯI', by Catarina Miranda.
The festival, organised by the Convento São Francisco/Câmara Municipal de Coimbra, TAGV/UC, O Teatrão and A Escola da Noite, started "from a common interest in contemporary dance, recognising the central place it occupies in the renewal of the language of the performing arts in recent decades", it also reads.
