Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Presents MEU PRAZER
Theatro São Pedro – November 19 – 9 p.m.
The voice of Francisco Alves, the compositions of Francisco Mignone, Henrique Oswald, Ernesto Nazareth and Maria Kalaniemi in the scenery of Beatriz Milhazes create the setting for the love letters that the four dancers of Marcia Milhazes Companhia de Dança will write with gestures, making the new work of the choreographer -“Meu Prazer”-.
In the juicy suspended garden created by Beatriz Milhazes, Meu Prazer is revealed through a strong poetic imagery, where four people loaded with their own stories and lonesome experiences create a weaving of meanings – solitude as a wish for the unknown. As in the previous works, the choreography is narrated with a sondtrack of music by brazilian composers, generally unknown for the audience, which fits together with the plot that is being revealed.
Marcia Milhazes was Born and currently works in Rio de Janeiro. In 1994 she founded her dance company. Her technique is a sum of Classical Ballet and the English avant-garde. Marcia is a classical dancer by the School of Classical Dancing from Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro and has a Masters degree in studies of dance and choreography from the Laban Centre for Movement and Dance, in London. In 1994 she founded the Marcia Milhazes Companhia de Dança. Since then, dshe has dedicated to researching brazilian culture and its roots, and has won the mos significant prizes of brazilian dance. Her mos recent piece, “Tempo de Verão”, was chosen best of the year in 2004 by the Associação Paulista dos Críticos de Arte.
