Synopsis
This new work is based on the discography of one of the greatest icons of world music, David Bowie, who needs no introduction. An extremely eclectic, innovative, restless artist, far ahead of his time, who influenced an entire generation. For the creation of this new choreography in 2016, Hulda Bittencourt called upon the renowned Brazilian choreographer, teacher, and dancer Mário Nascimento, who, in addition to being a respected and award-winning name in dance, is responsible for other works in the repertoire of the Cisne Negro Dance Company. This work is an interpretative dive into Bowie's genius, which led him to be unique in his trajectory due to the diversity of his artistic aptitudes, whether as a musician, actor, singer, composer, instrumentalist, producer—in short, a multidisciplinary and complete human being and artist in his creation and performance.

Mário Nascimento - Cisne Negro Cia de Dança

Mário Nascimento

Before becoming a choreographer committed to reinventing the language of dance and discovering its possibilities, he traveled a long trajectory, which began in 1978, when he became interested in classical ballet, modern dance, and jazz. But he was determined to seek new directions for his restlessness as an artist, which led him to study and learn from some of the most renowned icons of dance, such as Toshie Kobayashi, Lenie Dale, Fred Benjamin, Redhá Bettenfour, Joyce Kermann, and Tony Abbot. Ten years later, she perfected her skills in the art of modern and contemporary dance in Europe. Back in Brazil, he glimpsed possibilities in martial arts and sought an understanding, appropriate to his perception as a choreographer, of techniques for composing musical rhythms, which defined and enriched his language. Since then, the group has been performing in numerous cities in Brazil, and has collected several awards. In 2013, it celebrates 15 years of activities, and presents, at Teatro Klauss Vianna, the show "Nômade". Or better: Detach. Leave. Change.
