“I’m looking for new ways to present and share a process that was and is street, that was and is clubbing, that was and is intimate, that was and is sinuous. It’s a practical investigation, something lived. Being crossed by something, by many things. Being cross. Being a crossroad between two larger streets. Being a crossing.” Piny is a dancer, choreographer, researcher, and teacher. In 2023, she started the OU.kupa festival at TBA.

Miguel Castro Caldas and Pedro Gil are, coincidentally, both theatre artists, and they both practice karate — and they decided to make that the starting point of Deixar o Karate. A question often put to those who practise karate is: Have you ever used karate in your life? But no one ever asks: have you ever used your life in karate? Nor does anyone ask an actor: "Have you ever used karate in the theatre? Or have you used theatre in karate? Or theatre in life?" To Miguel and Pedro, these questions make perfect sense.
