Marlene Monteiro Freitas

Marlene Monteiro Freitas (Cape Verde, 1979), studied dance at P.A.R.T.S. (Brussels), at ESD and Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (Lisbon). She worked with choreographers such as Loïc Touzé, Emmanuelle Huynh, Tânia Carvalho and Boris Charmatz.

Among others, her creations include “Canine Jaunâtre 3” (2024, for Le Ballet l’Opéra National de Lyon), “LULU” (2023, with Theater an der Wien and Wiener Festwochen), “RI TE” (2022; with Israel Galván), “ÔSS” (2022; for Dançando com a Diferença), the performance “Idiota” and the exibition “X AND” (2022; around the painting of Alex Silva), “Pierrot Lunaire” (2021; with Klangforum Wien and Ingo Metzmacher), “Mal-Embriaguez Divina” (2020) and many others. “NÔT” is her latest creation for Avignon Festival. The common denominator of all these works is openness, hybridism, impurity and intensity.

In 2015, in Lisbon, she co-founded, P.OR.K, the structure that since then has been producing her work. In 2017, “Jaguar” was awarded the SPA prize for choreography and the Cape Verde government distinguished her cultural achievements. In 2018, she was awarded a Silver Lion by the Venice Biennale, in 2020, “Bacchae” was awarded the Prize for the Best International Performance by Les Prémis de la Critica d’Arts Escèniques of Barcelona, in 2022 she was awarded the Chanel Next Prize and the Evens Arts Prize. Since 2020, she co-curates the project (un)common ground.
