Commissioned by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, produced by Vende-se Filmes and supported by RTP, "Um Corpo que Dança" is directed by Marco Martins - director of "Alice" (2005), "Como Desenhar Um Círculo Perfeito" (2009) and "São Jorge" (2016) - and traces the journey of the Gulbenkian Ballet, considered one of the greatest Portuguese dance companies of the 20th century. Using archive footage and interviews with creators, historians, dancers and former directors, the director shows us the history of this company, from its beginnings in 1965 to its demise in 2005. At the same time, the entire political, economic and social context of Portugal over those 40 years is shown.
