Marga Alfeirão (Lisbon,1994) uses media to carve safe-spaces for the exploration of intimacy and sexuality through dance and performance. Heavily influenced by dance-genres and sound textures from the african diaspora disseminated through Lisbon’s social tissue, she attempts an active claim of womanhood, making room for lesbian sensualities.
LOUNGE was awarded the Young Choreographers Prize in 2023, Impulstanz. Currently she is developing her new work on cheesiness, geographies and heartbreak with dancers Myriam Lucas, Mariana Benengue and herself, dj's Vanyfox and Shaka Lion and writers Filipa da Rocha Nunes and Candice Nembhard to premiere in December.
