Overview

Dance theatre by Teatro Macunaíma, a leading contemporary theatre company based in São Paulo. Ever since admiring each others work at the Nancy International Theatre Festival in 1980, the director of Teatro Macunaíma Antunes Filho and Ohno Kazuo had a deep, lifelong friendship. This homage to Ohno Kazuo brings Ohno's work to light by way of Carmen Miranda, Brazil's most famous singer and film actress of the 20th century. Four dancers played the roles of Carmen as a girl, a young woman, a middle-aged woman, and an old woman. On 27 March, the final day of the performance, Ohno Kazuo appeared onstage in a wheelchair during the curtain call.
