Lua Carreira

FOUNDER AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

In 2019, Lua founded MoonWalk.Reverse in order to give a more solid base to her choreographic researches. The project gave her the possibility to develop interdisciplinary works by crossing the paths of emerging artists and promoting collabs in performing arts. Lua is co-founder of Emfim - Associação do Artista, non-profit organization which supports the project.

In 2019, she premiered her first piece on a professional context, Lîla - Free Play, co-created with Umut Ozdaloglu and in 2020, she gave birth to the second co-creation with the dramaturg and actress Adriana SáCouto, A Morte do Artista. She did My Heaven is Better Than Yours for Quorum Project in 2020 and Kind of Blue in 2021.
