In 2010, choreographers Marcela Levi (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Lucía Russo (Patagonia, Argentina) founded, in Rio de Janeiro, Improvável Produções (Improbable Productions), a creation, research and training platform. 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, transform 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, "3 against 2 Psycho Tropics" (2023) with the coproduction of Julidans, CCN de Caen en Normandie dans le cadre de l’Accueil-studio, Sítio Canto da Sabiá and Something Great; the urban intervention "Sandwalk with me" (2012) developed between London and Rio de Janeiro with the support of the State Secretariat of Culture of RJ and with the co-production of the Panorama Festival 2013; the collective reading "Given Words" (2021) with the sponsorship of the Municipal Secretariat of Culture of Rio de Janeiro through the Aldir Blanc Law and the film "short, short, long and sometimes short, long, short" (2021) co-produced by Panorama Raft.
