In that year, it became a resident company at Teatro Municipal do Porto through the \u201cTeatro em Campo Aberto\u201d programme, where it benefited from its own facilities until 2022. In 2023, it created Clube Erva Daninha, a space dedicated to hosting contemporary circus projects, which is part of Espa\u00e7o Agra in the western area of the city of Porto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><div class=\"embed-vimeo\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1143471677\" width=\"764\" height=\"430\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Programming is one of Erva Daninha\u2019s main areas of work.

The Company\u2019s performances stem from social and political themes developed from its own dramaturgical perspective.

It seeks inspiration in life, trying to reproduce it in an extraordinary way, while always maintaining a narrative, even if abstract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ervadaninha.pt\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"620\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/ervadaninha.pt\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-620x443.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4578\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ervadaninha.pt\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-620x443.jpg 620w, https:\/\/ervadaninha.pt\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-940x672.jpg 940w, https:\/\/ervadaninha.pt\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ervadaninha.pt\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-1536x1098.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ervadaninha.pt\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ervadaninha.pt\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erva Daninha is also dedicated to mediation through training and projects with different communities.
