Jonas&Lander

Artists

Portugal

Jonas&Lander, a duo of Portuguese choreographers, have contributed to each other's imaginary since 2011 when they began their collaboration. They stood out with Cascas d’Ovo, a work that took them to several national and international stages. Since then, and until 2017, they have also created and presented Matilda Carlota, Arrastão and Adorabilis.

They were distinguished as "Aerowaves Priority Company" in 2014 and 2017. In 2015, they found Sinistra, a fado house located in the town of Sintra and whose legal structure currently functions as a production house for Jonas&Lander's authorial work. In 2019, they premiered Lento e Largo, a show coproduced by Rede 5 Sentidos, Teatro do Bairro Alto and Teatro Freiburg (Germany), nominated by SPA for Best Choreography of 2019, and Coin Operated, in coproduction with BoCA - Biennial of Contemporary Arts.

They participated in the RTP2 documentary series “Portugal que Dança” (2017) and in the film Body Buildings (2020). In 2020, Jonas&Lander started the process of rescuing the lost dances of Fado, in a hybrid show intertwining music and dance, Bate Fado, which premiered at the DDD Festival, and has been a national and international success. Bate Fado was nominated by the newspapers Expresso and Público as the best dance piece of the year.
