Etymologically derived from Latin, meaning “vision,” “ghost” or “apparition”. The aim is to create a virtual space, a parallel reality, a dreamlike field, where current technology meets media archaeology, harnessing its potential to create a dance performance space.
With the production of Spectrum, ASTA proposes a reflection on one of today’s key issues, man’s journey through a worldview that is increasingly transferred from the real to the virtual universe.
In this choreographic and performative space, a narrative unfolds that moves between the real and the imagined, where the human performer interacts with scenic elements from the history of multimedia.

ASTA – Associação de Teatro e Outras Artes was founded in 2000. Its identity draws strength from a transdisciplinary culture, with theatre at its core.
Since its inception, the company has sought originality and difference in a constant search for new methods and languages, whether reinventing classics or creating something new from empty space.
Its body of work is very diverse, focusing on five key areas: creations, festivals/programming, dissemination, educational services, and research projects.
