RECOMMENDED: Lia Rodrigues (BR) - Encantado (Bűvölet) @ TRAFÓ, Budapest / 2024.05.30. 🌿♀🇧🇷

Az Encantado a Rio de Janeiróban élő koreográfus, aktivista és tanár Lia Rodrigues koreográfiája, aki 40 éves pályafutása során fáradhatatlanul dolgozott a művészet, az aktivizmus és a társadalmi folyamatok közötti szinergiák kiépítésén és akit a Brazíliában tapasztalt nagyon is valós környezeti és spirituális küzdelmek inspirálnak. Lia Rodrigues neve mára fogalommá nőtte ki magát a kortárstánc kedvelők és a szakma körében: a párizsi őszi fesztivál a jubiláló (30 éves)  társulat valamint Rodriguez munkásságának tiszteletére 2021-ben felkérte portréja bemutatására: így rengeteg korábbi darabjának bemutatása mellett az Encantado premierjére is itt került sor. 

Encantado is the choreography of Rio de Janeiro-based choreographer, activist and teacher Lia Rodrigues, who has worked tirelessly throughout her 40-year career to build synergies between art, activism and social processes, and who is inspired by the very real environmental and spiritual struggles experienced in Brazil. Lia Rodrigues' name has now grown into a concept among contemporary dance lovers and the profession: the Parisian autumn festival invited her to present her portrait in 2021 in honor of the jubilant (30-year-old) troupe and Rodriguez's work: thus, in addition to the presentation of many of her previous pieces, she was also here for the premiere of Encantado.
