Aparições (Appearances) is inspired by the art of Candido Portinari, César Guerra-Peixe and popular dances from the Brazilian Northeast. The costumes and the scenic elements created by Marco Lima enlarge the gestures in the space and the lightning by Wagner Freire contributes to build its dramaturgy. This piece is moved by a joyful creative freedom and presents poetic images from Brazil.
