In the month in which we commemorate the revolution of April 25th 1974, the EVC welcomes Nilsen Jorge and her artistic team for the preparation of a piece that brings together dance, poetry and music in a symbiosis that is the result of reflection on this moment of great historical importance.

An original creation in contemporary dance, A Flor da Liberdade is inspired by poetry and music used as passwords in the Carnation Revolution, in an artistic symbiosis where the narrative evokes the value of Liberty and Democracy. In this performance poetry is danced, dance is played, and music is recited, in a salute to the Freedom won in the April Revolution.

During her career as a dancer, Nilsen worked with internationally renowned choreographers such as Rudy vanDantzing, Hans van Mannen, Toer van Shaik, Jorge Trincheira, Armando Jorge, Dalal Achcar, among others. As a dance teacher, she has taught in various schools, and is the coordinator of Escola Municipal de Ballet de Portimão (Portugal), a position she has held since 1986. In 2007, she obtained a Masters degree in Linguistics from UALG. Currently, she is a PhD student in International Relations at Universidade Nova de Lisboa.
