Jonas&Lander

Jonas&Lander, a duo of Portuguese choreographers, have contributed to each other's imaginations since 2011, when they began their collaboration. They gained prominence with Cascas d'Ovo, a work that took them to several national and international stages. Following this, they created and presented Matilda Carlota, Arrastão and Adorabilis. They were honoured as "Aerowaves Priority Company" in 2014 and 2017. In 2019, they premiered Lento e Largo – a show co-produced by Rede 5 Sentidos, Teatro do Bairro Alto, and Teatro Freiburg (Germany), and nominated by SPA for Best Choreography of 2019, and Coin Operated – in co-production with BoCA (Biennial of Contemporary Arts). In 2021, Jonas&Lander set out to rescue the lost dances of Fado, in a hybrid show between music and dance: Bate Fado, which premiered at the DDD Festival and was also presented at the Opéra Grand Avignon as part of Les Hivernales. The show was both a national and international success, having been named the best dance show of the year by the newspapers Expresso and Público.
