Artist

Daniel Filipe Cardoso Seabra

Biography: Daniel Seabra is a prolific Portuguese contemporary circus performer and creator. In 2022 he was rewarded the Coliseu Ageas Young Artists Award in Portugal. His innovative artistic approach merges elements of various disciplines (aerial acrobatics, music, fine arts) into memorable shows. Since 2015 he transforms daily life events that pass unseen in the swirl of modern society into compelling stories that make audiences vibrate.

Alongside with his rich artistic activity, Daniel is also teaching in social projects and artistic schools, using the circus tools and practices for supporting the self-development of youth and adults. He has also collaborated with theatre companies around the country and has three feature films recorded.
