The Companhia Nacional de Bailado presents this unprecedented ballet adaptation of the novel by the same name by Eça de Queirós, with choreography by Fernando Duarte, musical curation by Andrea Lupi, set design by José Manuel Castanheira and costumes by José António Tenente. It also features musical performances by pianist António Rosado and soloists from the Portuguese Chamber Orchestra.

It is a ballet in three acts that revitalizes narrative in dance, an original creation that combines the dramatic intensity of Eça de Queirós' universe with the unique expressiveness of choreographic creation, in a contemporary exercise of intermediality that evokes, reinterprets and gives new life to unique characters and timeless issues.
