Silva Produções Ltda (CNPJ: 07.288.445/0001-68). The company produces and tours live contemporary dance performances, with a repertoire built over three decades that includes iconic works such as 'Vulcão', 'Belle', '4x4', and 'Rota', and a 2026 flagship production called 'Remix' that reinterprets scenes from those prior works.

Tickets are sold at premier venues including Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro, Teatro Sérgio Cardoso in São Paulo, and Teatro Colón in Bogotá. Corporate discount partnerships with Vale and Petrobras offer 50% off tickets to their employees and contractors. All performances include audio description accessibility services for visually impaired audiences. The company maintains social media presence on Instagram, Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube as primary marketing channels, with a workforce of 51–100 employees.
