Synopsis

The term "Impromptu" in musical nomenclature means "apparently improvised." The songs chosen for this work are from the CD "Infância" by Egberto Gismonti. With considerable skill, Gismonti distorts a very melodic choro and recreates a marked samba cadence, only to later deconstruct them and intelligently transform them into a great polyrhythmic celebration. The audience, in a mix of athlete and poet, must be able to grasp a theatrical idea, a specific sound, an intention of movement, and transcode them into a physical message capable of adding something new and good.
