<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Lágrimas e Mel (Tears and Honey), is an evening-length contemporary dance production structured in three parts – Honey, Tears, and their Interaction. Inspired by the fact that both honey and tears resist decomposition, the piece explores the textures, cultural symbolism, and scientific properties of these natural products. They resonate as rich metaphors for persistence, emotional resilience, and the complexity of human experience in today’s world. Movement, music, costumes, and other visual elements come together in an athletic and emotional trio, inviting the audience to reflect on their role in society.</span></p>
