Raul Maia

Raul Maia is a Portuguese physical performance artist, choreographer and performer, born in 1981. He lived in Austria for twelve years before returning to Portugal; his own pieces build on physical practices that generate forms of behaviour and communication between performers, and he composes soundscapes for them. His work has been shown at ImPulsTanz, Tanzquartier, WUK and brut Wien in Vienna, DDD – Festival Dias da Dança in Porto and other festivals, and as a performer he has collaborated with Ultima Vez/Wim Vandekeybus, Tino Sehgal, Fanni Futterknecht and Paul Wenninger, among others.
