Inspired by Sydney Pollack's film _They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?_, _Baile de Resistência_ by Beatriz Mira and Raquel Medeiros is an encounter between dance and cinema where couples with different origins and stories dance to exhaustion, driven by the promise of a large sum of money. Between body and collapse, this project inquires how far one can resist when human dignity is called into question.

Inspirado no filme _They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?_ de Sydney Pollack, _Baile de Resistência_ de Beatriz Mira e Raquel Medeiros é um encontro entre dança e cinema onde pares performativos de origens e histórias distintas dançam até à exaustão movidos pela promessa de uma larga quantia. Entre corpo e colapso, questiona-se até onde se resiste quando a dignidade humana é posta em causa.

With the aim of supporting independent artistic creation, this program hosts artists and collectives working in the field of dance or in areas of artistic intersection, both national and international, for a maximum period of two weeks.

Applications are accepted continuously throughout the year, and residencies are scheduled in our calendar on a first-come, first-served basis. Since their beginnings, the EVC have been a space where multiple languages coexist, directly meeting the needs of the artistic community.
