Description
Forces acting within the Earth, generally unseen by humans, manifest themselves in awesome displays of fiery power. Vulcão is Contempo Physical Dance’s latest collaboration between choreographer Marciano Silva dos Santos, composer Divanir Antonio Gattamorta, and its unified and fiercely athletic cast of dancers. Utilizing the company’s Afro-Brazilian contemporary dance fusion, the work takes inspiration from volcanoes, which are both majestically beautiful and powerfully dynamic. Also slang in Brazilian Portuguese to describe someone extremely desirable or detested, Vulcão goes beyond nature to reveal parallels found in human relationships. From shifting tectonic plates to fluid and viscous lava, the work pushes the dancers’ physicality and displays their unyielding vitality. In addition to the world premiere of Vulcão, Contempo Physical Dance will perform excerpts from Batuque, a memorable favorite from the company’s repertoire exploring the flavors of samba. Join us at Macalester College this May for Contempo Physical Dance’s Saint Paul debut performance.“This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.”
