Inspired by the movie Vadiação (1954), by Alexander Robatto, Ana Victoria created for the 2nd edition of the Brazilian Choreographers Workshop, Vadiando, work driven by capoeira in dialogue with elements of contemporary dance. Movie scenes permeate the work redefining the bodies, space and time. "This was the first dance movie and I watched and, with it, I rethought about my body and identity. In order to choreograph, I always start from something more biographical and today, 59 years after its release, this movie allows me to go beyond its object", says the choreographer.
