Have you heard of Art Brut? What about Magical Art?


As part of the 2026 Exhibitions, Estúdios Victor Córdon, in partnership with Dançando com a Diferença, invites artist Luís Guerra, who, as curator, invited the company’s performers to explore visual creation.

Divided into two parts, this programme presents works characterised by rhythmic choices and unusual formal devices, as well as a profusion of visual elements. A sensitive and reflective experience that transports us to realms of the spirit rarely accessible in conventional artistic practices, reaffirming the uniqueness of the company’s work and the creative power of each performer.

To mark the 25th anniversary celebrations of Dançando com a Diferença.


Free admission.

Conheces Arte Bruta? E a Arte Mágica?

No âmbito do Ciclo de Exposições — 2026, os Estúdios Victor Córdon em parceria com a Dançando com a Diferença convidam o artista Luís Guerra que, enquanto curador, desafiou os intérpretes da companhia a explorar a criação visual.

Dividido em duas partes, neste ciclo são apresentados trabalhos caracterizados por escolhas rítmicas e soluções formais invulgares e por uma profusão de elementos visuais. Uma experiência sensível e reflexiva, que nos transporta para territórios do espírito raramente acessíveis em práticas artísticas normativas, reafirmando a singularidade do trabalho da companhia e a potência criativa de cada intérprete.

Por ocasião das comemorações do 25º aniversário da Dançando com a Diferença.

Entrada livre.

Arte Mágica — Dançando com a Diferença

In 2024, the EVC's Foyer became an exhibition space, welcoming proposals on an ongoing basis by visual artists whose work has a connection to the performing arts in general and to dance in particular. After two editions curated by Carlota Lagido, during which we welcomed works by Luís Guerra, João Galante, Elizabete Francisca, Flávio Rodrigues, Miguel Bonneville and Ana Caetano, this year we hold _Arte Mágica_ (“Magical Art”), a third series of exhibitions curated by Luís Guerra in partnership with the dance company Dançando com a Diferença.

There are stories that begin quietly but become transformative along the way. Such was the case with Dançando com a Diferença, founded by Henrique Amoedo in 2001, in Madeira, as a pilot project which later became a benchmark in the contemporary dance scene, both nationally and internationally. Over the course of 25 years, the company has built a unique career, collaborating with renowned choreographers and developing new forms of interaction between performer, body and space.

In the context of the 2026 Exhibitions Program, the EVC and artist Luís Guerra challenge performers from this company with unique cognitive and physical characteristics to explore a process of visual creation starting from the concept of “outsider art” and evolving into “Magical Art”. In two different periods, works created by six to eight performers and characterized by unusual rhythmical choices and formal solutions, as well as by a profusion of visual elements, will be showing at the EVC’s Foyer. These works offer the public a sensory and reflective experience, transporting them to territories of the spirit rarely accessible through normative artistic practices, and reasserting both the singularity of the company’s work and the creative potential of each performer.

On the occasion of the celebrations for the 25th anniversary of Dançando com a Diferença Association.
