A SOLO DANCE PERFORMANCE BY WAGNER MOREIRA (BRA/GER)

.

I PLAY D(E)AD wants learn to die in dance but not without to celebrate the life. ……………………………..………………………….......................................................................................................................................................................................

In the emotional spagat between the death of the father and his own learning process of dying, Wagner Moreira opens a poetic scenario in his solo about piety, and humility, courage, determination and enjoyment

of the life -

untimately about big philosophical questions of our lives and the overwhelming power of the art.

In the eighteenth year of his own fater´s suicide, he celebrates 25 years of his dance career an on top of that his 40th birthday. The momentary coincidence of this events is reason enough to perform right now with softness and thoughtfullness at the same time a solo piece with sometimes self-imposed taboos of suicide and to give a place to the celebration and tasting the moment.

“Through so many puzzles of questions which are simply objective, logical and social can not be answered, saty with me just my dance as a medium of questioning, my philosophical thinking and my moving. As long as I decide for Life, I move, I dance, I think - and that´s the only reason why I exist. “ Wagner Moreira

Vulnerability dominates the room and connects the audience to the protagonist.

„Dresden Neueste Nachrichten

„After a long struggle, the life dominates, there is an artist in front of the audience, who fully reveals his feelings in dance.“

Dresden Neueste Nachrichten

„A dance on the razor blade with himself and a huge plastic film builds up lively and pusating episodes. Soft deadly wrapplings and again gentle approaches between dancer and the material. Bright light and dull basses create a sinister atmosphere.„ Dresden Neuste Nachrichten

„So emotionally charged immerses Wagner Moreira in his own soul.“ Dresden Neueste Nachrichten
