ROPE ARTIST · PERFORMER · TEACHER

Portugal-born, Barcelona-based rope artist, performer, self-suspender and teacher working publicly as Amanita / @amanitaropes. The official about page gives Covilhã, Portugal 1997, a Serra da Estrela upbringing and a nomadic Barcelona base since 2023, while the site frames the work as Rope Art and Ritual: contemporary shibari, ritualism, movement in restriction, contact improvisation, butoh, self-tying and self-suspension. The Tying Together page describes consent / safety-led sessions plus private and group classes in Barcelona and Lisbon, and names Yukimura, Hajime Kinoko, Naka Akira, Yagami Ren and Noshibari as style interests rather than formal lineage. The performance archive and event pages document Waking Life, Barcelona, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Poland and Greece traces from 2021-2026; Entradium and Noctámbula independently corroborate 2025-2026 Barcelona workshop / self-suspension performance context. User-supplied Instagram screenshot identifies @amanitaropes as a rope ritual + performance artist, rope switch, self-suspension and movement practitioner, nomad based in Barcelona. No certification, rank, deshi or formal-school claim is inferred.
