ECSTATIC DANCE LX

Step out of your mind and into your body. Ecstatic Dance is a barefoot movement journey guided by music, not choreography. Nothing to learn, no one watching. Only room to move the way your body wants to, on a floor full of people doing the same.

There are no right or wrong moves. Whether it is your first ecstatic dance or your hundredth, you are welcome exactly as you are.

Three artists guide the journey. Maisha builds a set like weather, with live handpan and violin woven through and years spent reading ecstatic floors. Maddy (Mahdi Hlewi) plays alongside her. AVI closes in downtempo and ambient, slow ceremonial builds, your host for the evening.

It happens at Tejá House, a third space on the riverside, neither home nor work, alcohol-free by design. Come a little early to land, or stay after for the kitchen: a seasonal Mediterranean brunch made to share.

Sunday 26 July, 18:00 to 21:00

Tejá House, Cais do Sodré 5, Lisbon

Barefoot. Phone away. Come as you are.
