Four dancers stand close together in a diagonal row on a rooftop, tall buildings flanked behind them in a gray sky. Female dancers wear solid red or gold tops, and one male dancer wears a cream button down. One dancer looks at the camera while the others look to the sides.

Pássaro Distante

Films.Dance

Two dancers stand side-by-side close together, one dancer slightly behind the other. Both dancers are leaning far left with eyes closed, focused upwards. Dancers wear shades of deep red, pink, and white and stand in front of a swirling painted background of dark blue, light blue, and white. A blue orb is seen in the painting above the dancers' heads.

From the Artist
Saudade! It doesn't matter how far we go; the more we grow, the more we strengthen the connection with our essences and our hearts. Luís Fernando, Jovani Furlan, Luanna Gondim and Maitê Nunes dance together as a shadow of one another, in an alien place that represents their introspectiveness. Pássaro Distante can be interpreted as how far we can go into our internal universe - as a distant bird.
