 _Sonho de Dama_ is Marga Alfeirão's third dance piece — it is a mission to rescue lost dreams. Performed by a quartet — Nafi (Gambia/Berlin), Juliana Braga (Brazil/Portugal), Rosy Timas (Cape Verde/Santiago), and Caroline Nevejan (Netherlands) —, the piece intends to create a space where dreams once dreamt by women connect with those of today. It explores the relevance of older women's dreams and it shows how passing them on to younger women both preserves and strengthens intimacy across generations.

 _Sonho de Dama_ é a terceira peça de dança de Marga Alfeirão (Lisboa, 1994) — uma missão de resgate de sonhos perdidos. Dançada por um quarteto — Nafi (Gâmbia/Berlim), Juliana Braga (Brasil/Portugal), Rosy Timas (Cabo Verde/Ilha de Santiago) e Caroline Nevejan (Holanda) —, a peça procura um espaço onde os sonhos ancestrais outrora sonhados pelas mulheres se conectam com os de hoje. A obra foca a relevância dos sonhos de mulheres mais velhas e mostra de que modo transmiti-los às jovens preserva e fortalece a intimidade intergeracional.
