October 22–26, 2025
From October 22 to 26, Galeria Municipal do Porto and Teatro Municipal do Porto present four works by Alex Baczyński-Jenkins, a joint programme entirely dedicated to the Polish-British artist and choreographer.
Baczyński-Jenkins’ choreographic practice articulates desire and mediates relationality. His work embodies multiple forms of connection, engaging with structures of memory, time, and hapticality as modes of resistance and collective imagination. Between the intimate and the political, his performances undertake sensation and sociality, gesture and the emergence of shared affect.
At Teatro Rivoli, the programme features Untitled (Holding Horizon), a performance with shifting perceptions between a memory of a rave, a ghostly gathering, a militant congregation and a pastoral imaginary. Malign Junction (Goodbye, Berlin), a piece dedicated to the theme of finitude, navigating capture, movement in relation to power and a broken promise.
Galeria Municipal do Porto, as part of Fogo Fátuo, an event dedicated to art in motion, focusing on live, performative and sound art practices, will host Unending love, or love dies, on repeat like it’s endless, a choreographic reflection on desire, fragmentation, love (as communality), loss and time. The piece manifests relational forms of being-with and for one another. Until a thousand roses bloom (with Warsaw in the background), undertakes the charge of eroticism, queer longing and pleasure that might recall situations alternately between friends, lovers, strangers.
