ISABELA ROSSI AND JULIA KOSALKA
LENTO
Forum Dança | May 29, 2026 | 6.30 pm
‘LENTO is a project that explores intimacy as a space for negotiation and resistance, drawing on the experiences of two queer women. Through choreography that focuses on slow-motion movement, LENTO examines how lesbian love is shaped by social expectations, patriarchal memories, and heteronormative scripts, and how it can be reinvented outside of these frameworks. Slowing down becomes a political and sensory strategy, allowing us to inhabit micro-sensations, contradictions, and vulnerability. Who feels entitled to intimacy, visibility, or belonging?’

Biographies
Isabela Rossi
Isabela Rossi moves between dance, performance, and creation. Driven by the curiosity of a wandering body, it is through this physical experience that she explores how the body reconfigures itself in relation to space, revealing tensions and deviations while opening pathways to new imaginaries, encounters, and perspectives.
Julia Kosalka
Julia Kosalka moves between dance, performance, and choreography. She has collaborated with Dance Theater Heidelberg, Alina Belyagina, Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe, Renan Martins, and others. In dance, she is interested in collectivity, in queering time and space, and in blending reality with fantasy and fiction.
