Circus break – Me ves? Sí, te veo en mi !

Beatriz Duarte is a Portuguese contemporary circus artist, specialising in the Chinese pole, and a graduate of ESAC (Brussels). She is one of the co-founders of the company Soif Totale, where she contributed to the creation and production of the shows *Dive In* and *Prologue*. In 2021, she co-founded the company Arrepio with Ana Julia Moro, with whom she created the production *Au Bout de la Peau* (2024). Alongside her artistic practice, she undertook a production training course at Théâtre&Publics and spent a year as part of the Arts&Publics team. She currently works as a production assistant for the Primavez collective, based in Lille (France), and teaches Chinese pole at the CNAC.

Dana Calderón Díaz (Spain) and Ignacio Veloso Guzmán (Chile), better known as Dana and Gato, form the duo Duo1uno, a contemporary circus duo specialising in hand-to-hand acrobatics. Their collaboration began in 2023, following a shared training journey at the Carampa school (Madrid) and the CRAC in Lomme (France). Together, they develop a sensitive physical practice centred on trust, balance and mutual listening, blending acrobatic lifts with physical expression. Their style is characterised by a quest for intimacy in movement and an openness to a variety of formats: from cabaret to site-specific work. Since meeting, they have presented their creations at several international festivals, such as Trapezi (Spain), Circus Fairies (Romania) and T’chouck Art (France). In 2025, they will be touring with their act *L’espace entre nous*, supported by La Cie du Bourgeon.
