To create Umbó, Leilane Teles has based on a premise she calls “the creation of desire”, which talks about the desire to become who one wants to be from a certain reference and how this reverberates in each one's body. The act of being inspired also produces inspiration, generating an infinite cycle. The singer and songwriter Tiganá Santana, the singer Virginia Rodrigues and the choreographer Matias Santiago are the inspirations for Umbó, which invites the public to appreciate and revere the arts and trajectories of these personalities, as well as the dancers on stage and all the artists involved in the creation of the work.
