in grupo oito

From 2013 to 2025, I was a member of Grupo Oito, a collective founded by Ricardo de Paula in 2006. During this time, as a dancer and artist, I was immersed in Berlin’s independent arts scene, dedicated to bringing diversity and plurality to the stage.

The group worked with dance, theater, and video to address political issues and examine the relationship between individuals and contemporary society, with a particular focus on race and gender. My years with Grupo Oito were a collective journey of research, dialogue, and creation—where we sought to challenge preconceived notions, spark dialogue, and inspire change.
