EU ESTIVE AQUI (I’ve been here) is the performance of the PORTO ALEGRE CIA DE DANÇA that became international as soon as it came to life. Fruit of the exchange with the Scottish choreographer, Mark Sieczkarek, the spectacle was conceived in the south of Brazil and had its premiere in Wuppertal, Germany – the headquarters of the Tanztheater of Pina Bausch. The company also toured around that area in Germany, receiving an amazing welcome from the public and critics.
It is a joyful and intense spectacle, which rescues ballet components with symmetric and precise movements, mixing universal signs and some movements that resemble the geishas in the Japanese culture. All this mixture results in an original contemporary dance. A celebration that brings to the public the desire to go on stage and join the dance. 50 minutes of a magical and hypnotic ritual, lulled by the songs from Cordel do Fogo Encantado, Caetano Veloso and Naná Vasconcelos.
