Carolina Batalha is a Portuguese dancer and emerging choreographer who represents a new generation of artists who merge sensitivity, intellect and expressive power on stage.

In this poetic solo, Carolina Batalha embodies a woman suspended between memory and becoming — fragile yet untamed, solitary yet overflowing with emotion. Movement unfolds as if everything were happening for the first time: first love, first rupture, first awakening.

Her body shifts between innocence and rebellion, vulnerability and excess. The wind becomes both companion and adversary, lifting her skirts like waves against stone — a striking image set against the timeless presence of St. James Cathedral.

“The Girl Who Wore Skirts on Windy Days” is an intimate portrait of a woman who dismantles herself in order to survive, who feels too deeply, who exists at the edge of myth and reality.

A raw, expressive and visually evocative performance that resonates long after the final gesture.
