In 2010, Marcela Levi (1973, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Lucía Russo (1975, Patagonia, Argentina) founded in Rio de Janeiro a nomadic place of training, research and creation called Improvável Produções (Improbable Productions). Levi & Russo are committed to a polyphonic direction in which different inventive positions intertwine in a process that embraces deviant lines, dissent and internal differences as a constructive critical force and not as self-exclusive polarities.

The work of Improvável Produções tends towards an experimental aesthetic that emerges from a singular encounter with the impasses of Brazilian society. There is a rigorous effort to, instead of succumbing, convert tensions and entanglements into the very matter of an artistic production.

Improvável Produções is responsible for the conception, creation and production of the dance pieces "Monstrous Nature" (2011), "Mordedores" (2015) - included in the list of the newspaper O Globo as one of the outstanding dance shows in 2015 - ,"Iron Mouth" (2016) - included in the list of the newspaper O Globo as one of the outstanding dance performances in 2018 and nominated for the Cesgranrio Dance Prize in the categories "best choreography" and "best dancer" - , "Let it Burn" (2017) - included in the list of the newspaper O Globo as one of the outstanding dance performances in 2017 - , "HARM-ONY" (2019), with the coproduction of Iberescena Fund and NAVE (Santiago do Chile), grrRoUNd" (2021), with the coproduction of Kunstenfestivaldesarts, Kaaitheater, Julidans, Pact Zollverein and Something Great, and the urban intervention "Sandwalk with me" (2012/13), with the coproduction of Panorama Festival (Rio de Janeiro). Levi & Russo projects have been presented in many theatres, festivals and arts centres in Latin America and Europe as: Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels), Rencontres chorégraphiques internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis (Paris), Julidans (Amsterdam), Zurich Moves!, Side Step Festival (Helsinki), Tanzquartier (Vienna), MIT (São Paulo), Festival de Curitiba, Sala Hiroshima (Barcelona), MAM (Rio de Janeiro), Sophiensaele / Performance Platform: Body Affect (Berlin), Zürcher Theater Spektakel Festival, Fundação Gulbenkian (Lisboa), Spring Performing Arts Festival (Utrecht), among many others.
