Acima de Tudo (PT.: Above All) is a contemporary dance performance, exploring humankind’s everlasting search for perfection.
Is an ideal purely defined by society, or is beauty truly in the eye of the beholder? Can true perfection be obtained, or must one accept that it cannot? What is perfection at its core, beyond the clichés?
