NÔT | Marlene Monteiro Freitas

NÔT means “night” in the Cape Verdean Creole language. The performance that stunned audiences at the 79th Festival d’Avignon unfolds as a ritual outburst of everything you hold inside: the absurd, the repressed, the irreconcilable. Inspired by "One Thousand and One Nights" and steeped in ecstasy, this is this year’s international production of Onassis Dance Days. Read more
