16-17 Oct, 2026

RivoliPalco do Grande Auditório

Phia Ménard & Compagnie Non Nova’s Nocturne Parade offers a unique sensory experience moving through darkness, guided more by touch and intuition than sight. The performance uses anthropomorphic puppets and inflatable landscapes to explore the delicate balance between life and death. As you pass through a tunnel toward the light, you encounter a procession blending the eerie with the poetic. It’s a thoughtful reflection on victims and oppressors, brought to life through a striking visual and tactile journey. The parade’s slow, deliberate rhythm invites you to engage with its themes, making it more than just a show to watch. You might find yourself drawn into the symbolic dance of skeletons and flags, carrying quiet intensity instead of loud spectacle. This event suits those who appreciate performances that challenge perception and encourage contemplation. Sharing the experience with others adds a subtle connection as you collectively navigate the unfolding story in the dark.
