❤️‍🔥 TODAY MY DREAMS HAVE RUN AWAY, @dozagallery with Sancha Meca Castro (PT) 22.04 ❤️‍🔥 #SU2026 Sancha is an Amsterdam-based artist and performer, working with bodies, textures and images through speculative practices and delicate investigations on the nature of objects and archives and their variation.  She studied Sculpture in Porto and HfBKDresden and Choreography at SNDO, in Amsterdam. Sancha’s movement practice emerges from an interest in tangible matter and invisible materialities, such as fictions, value-making, ruins, collapsing and other memories. Chance, secret scores and spending time with’ are structures that drive her moods, zones and processes. Anchored in queer quantum physics, Sancha works through improvisation as a relational tool with the site and its counterparts. In the past years Sancha has been testing her work across different spaces, from traditional theaters and galleries to unconventional venues. Some of her latest performances include a commission by HetHEM (NL) to create a site-specific piece for the former bullet factory and the ruin is a tail, a group dance piece developed through the destruction of a gestures’ archive on stage, currently touring. Credits: Choreography, performance and objects: Sancha Meca Castro Live music: Inês Malheiro Costume: Miruna Vlad Dramaturgy support: Toni Steffens e Ana Rocha —— Sofia Underground is financially supported by Sofia Municipality - Calendar of Cultural Events, Goethe-Institut Bulgaria and the Ministry of Culture in Bulgaria.

Sancha Meca Castro ☉ 𝕾𝖐𝖞 𝕮𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖎𝖓𝖌 ☉ Em 𝕾𝖐𝖞 𝕮𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖎𝖓𝖌, @__sancha____ , performer, coreógrafa e artista transdisciplinar interessada no absurdo e no bizarro, pensa a pele como interface e o lugar como contraparte. A disrupção interrompe a continuidade narrativa para explorar o medo num corpo em fricção entre controlo e sensorial. De processos de evasão e divisão de agências surgem gestos e sons que questionam o que pode um corpo inteiro, múltiplo ou fragmentado. Ancorada na teoria da física quântica queer, Sancha trabalha a improvisação como relação com o espaço e a repulsa como parte da atração, propondo o colapso como ponto de partida para enfrentar o medo. Performance 21 Mar. ☉ 15:15 @sismografo.porto Entrada gratuita, por ordem de chegada, sujeita à lotação da sala. // Free entry, on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to venue capacity. música por / music by @______ines__ — In 𝕾𝖐𝖞 𝕮𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖎𝖓𝖌, @__sancha____ , a performer, choreographer and transdisciplinary artist interested in the absurd and the bizarre, considers the skin as an interface and the place as a counterpart. Disruption interrupts narrative continuity to explore fear in a body in friction between control and the sensory. From processes of evasion and the division of agencies emerge gestures and sounds that question what a body can be when whole, multiple or fragmented. Anchored in queer quantum physics theory, Sancha works with improvisation as a way of relating to space and with repulsion as part of attraction, proposing collapse as a starting point for confronting fear.

LAST DAYS of SEAGHOSTS! Pt Seaghosts, uma exposição coletiva de Maria Novo, Sancha Meca Castro e Simón Jarpa, com curadoria de Reina del Mar, parte de uma investigação sobre a alga do sargaço. Existe no Atlântico Norte Subtropical um mar conhecido como Sargasso Sea, um mar sem costa que se torna um vórtice que capta e expele detritos marinhos e humanos de todo o mundo. A mitologia conta que, por via desse movimento, se abre um misterioso limbo onírico entre mundos. Visto como organismo transmutável, o sargaço torna-se uma ponte entre o real e o imaginário, o humano e o não humano. 💨💨💨 Das 10h às 20h no Mnemonic Pavilion Até 29 de Agosto (@hiperlocal.hyperlocal ), Parque Ecológico Urbano de Viana do Castelo Fotografias por Miguel Teodoro Es Seaghosts, una exposición colectiva de Maria Novo, Sancha Meca Castro y Simón Jarpa, con curaduria de Reina del Mar, parte de una investigación sobre el alga sargazo.
