SOFIA TSIRAKIS
Sofia Tsirakis is an interdisciplinary artist creating at the threshold of body, voice, sound, image, and story. With dance at the center of her practice, she builds sensorial narrative worlds that move between performance, film, music, theater, and ritual. Her work treats presence as a living material — visual, emotional, embodied — and invites audiences into intimate landscapes of motherhood, wildness, tenderness, transformation, and the sacred intelligence of the body.
A magnetic performer for stage and camera, Sofia brings rare physical intelligence, emotional precision, and a potent, sweet vocal presence to her work as a dancer, singer, actress, choreographer, and creative director. Trained as a dance artist, philosopher, and educator, she graduated with academic distinctions from Princeton University and the Merce Cunningham Studio.
DANÇAS POLIFÔNICAS
Founded in 2014 by Sofia Tsirakis and André Balboni, Danças Polifônicas is an artistic platform for original works, partnerships, and transdisciplinary collaborations. With dance and music as its centers of gravity, the company creates hybrid experiences across body, sound, image, narrative, theater, and audiovisual language — poetic worlds designed to be felt in the body.
ANDRÉ BALBONI
André Balboni is a Brazilian musician, composer, music producer, and researcher whose work includes original albums, film scores, documentaries, dance performances, and interdisciplinary projects. His music brings together jazz, classical music, and Brazilian song with harmonic sophistication, melodic sensitivity, and influences ranging from Villa-Lobos to Tom Jobim.
As a composer, André creates sound worlds where thought, emotion, and image converge. His work has been featured on Rádio Cultura, one of Brazil’s important cultural radio stations, where he has also been interviewed about his artistic practice. He is the author of Sopro das Musas — Fundamentos Filosóficos da Música, a book that deepens his research into music, philosophy, listening, and creation.
